The two characters called in the Dutch text 'Job & Bob' I've already recognized, it are the English Weary Willie and Tired Tim by Tom Brown, but does somebody know where and when this gag was first published ?
Tom Brown's Weary Willie and Tired Tim called Job & Bob
in the Flemish children's magazine De Kindervriend (N° 220)
in the Flemish children's magazine De Kindervriend (N° 220)
The next panel features some mischievous children, quite resembling to the Katzenjammer Kids. Steve Holland mailed me and suggested that it are: "The Bunsey Boys which appeared in The Wonder in 1901 and continued in The Jester and Wonder when Wonder changed title (but continued its numbering) in 1902. Apparently, the strip was drawn by Leonard Shields when it appeared in the latter, although it is likely he was not the original artist."
Here's another yet unidentified comic character, probably from the British press.
from De Kindervriend (N° 222)
And who's the author and the original of this elephant called 'Jimmy' in the translation by De Kindervriend.
So any help with the identification of these comics would be greatly appreciated.
So, I talked about your search today via the daily news agency afNews http://www.afnews.info . Hope someone could answer your call. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, I guess that expecially the British specialists can help me, because it are probably all British comics.
