Crumbling Paper: Betsy Bouncer and Her Doll
Our friends at the fantastic Barnacle Press blog just posted a bunch of examples of this strip the other day, so I thought I’d get to posting the one I scanned. They posted this one also, but it isn’t a gloriously mutilated example like the ones you’ve come to expect from the STWALLSKULL blog. Without further ado, I give you Betsy Bouncer and Her Doll from 1904 by Tom Tucker.
