Thomas "Tad" Dorgan (1877-1929)
Thomas "Tad" Dorgan Indoor Sports Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 8-4 (King Features Syndicate, 1920s). A popular craze for parlor-trick hypnotism during the early 20th century inspired this snarky farce from Dorgan: An amateur demonstrator proposes to make a dull oaf "think that he's the answer to a maiden's prayer." The onlookers have plenty of sarcastic observations. The date of this piece is documented at 8-4, with the copyright year undeclared. Ink over graphite on Bristol board, with an image area of 12" x 8". Toning and wear commensurate with age. Edge erosion or chipping and some staining/smudging; intact, however, and as such in Very Good condition. HID09710052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
