George McManus Color Drawing Featuring His “Bringing Up Father” Characters Maggie & Jiggs
George McManus drawing featuring his “Bringing Up Father” characters. The popular comic strip ran for 87 years, highlighting the hilarious conflicts between Maggie and Jiggs, an Irish-American couple who came into money to the wife’s delight and the henpecked husband’s chagrin. In this color drawing, Jiggs perches on the brim of a society lady’s hat, while Maggie sneaks up behind him, poised to clobber him with her rolling pin. McManus signs and dedicates the lower left, dating it 1947, seven years before his death. Measures 5.5″ x 8.5″. Mounted to blue paper to an overall size of 6.5″ x 9.5″. Toning, else near fine. Sold for $1,045.
The following are some additional comic strip illustrations we sold:
Krazy Kat Illustration by George Herriman — Composed in Ink & Watercolor, Measuring 9.5″ x 6″ of Krazy Kat, Ignatz Mouse & Officer Bull Pupp
Original “Krazy Kat” hand-drawn and signed illustration by George Herriman, rendered in multi-color ink and watercolor. An extremely popular comic strip created by Herriman in 1913, Krazy Kat depicts the unlikely love triangle of a cat, a mouse and a dog: Krazy Kat, Ignatz Mouse and Officer Bull Pupp. Krazy Kat’s naive, unrequited love for Ignatz is consistently and unceremoniously rewarded by bricks hurled to the back of his head, thrown by the cantankerous mouse. Officer Bull Pupp does his best to protect Krazy Kat, whom he not so secretly loves, from Ignatz’ relentless brick attacks. In this hand-drawn illustration from the early 1930s, the three march along, holding up their respective offerings: a brick, bobby stick, and umbrella and flower. Signed by Herriman, “Hey ‘Louie’ – Thine – Geo. Herriman”, drawn for Louis Staub, a New York printer. Krazy Kat ran for almost thirty years, from 1913-1944, a favorite of comic fans and such notables as E.E. Cummings, William Randolph Hearst, Jack Kerouac and Pablo Picasso. Illustration measures 9.5″ by 6″. Three hole punches at top and light creasing to edges, otherwise near fine condition. Sold for $4,600.
Charming lot of George Herriman original artwork, comprising two color sketches given to an acquaintance who worked at his local Post Office in the 1940s. The first piece, hand-drawn on an envelope postmarked from Los Angeles on 1 February 1943 shows Krazy Kat in a First Class mailbag, with Ignatz telling him ”Hey Kat – Freight goes out over there – You’re in the wrong bag.” Herriman writes his name and address at top left and inscribes the envelope to the recipient Rosie Humrichouse with the number of the Postal Station where she worked. Second piece is a colorful hand-drawn sketch showing Herriman serenading his friend ”Rosita”, signed ”Ole Man Herriman”. Envelope measures 6.75” x 3.75” and card measures 6.25” x 3.375”. Uniform toning to envelope, else near fine. Card is bright, in near fine condition. Sold for $2,750.
