Throughout this auction we are offering a unique collection of autographs, all obtained in the early 1930s, signed on superb hand painted covers by the artist/autograph collector himself. This resulted in a fine collection of writers, artists, cartoonists, sports legends and entertainers responding to him due to these beautiful miniature works of art that can be found throughout this auction. In this collection, many of the cartoonists have added a flourish or original caricature to their signature, some with thanks and appreciation. Included are: E.C. Segar (creator of Popeye), Bud Fisher (Mutt & Jeff), Harold Gray (Little Orphan Annie), Billy De Beck (Barnie Google), Pat Sullivan (Felix The Cat), Frank Willard (Moon Mullins), Percy Crosby (Skippy), Harold Knerr (Katzenjammer Kids), George McManus (Jiggs and Maggie), Cliff Sterrett (Polly and Her Pals), Rusty Westover (Tillie the Toiler), Robert Ripley (Ripley's Believe It Or Not), and many many other greats.
