Information

Daily comic strip from 31/07/1926 for Gasoline Alley, titled "An Squint Just Can't Bear Exaggeration". Created by Frank King in 1918, it is one of the longest-running and most creative American comic strips. King tells the story of Walt Wallet and his adopted son Skeezix through the generations. King in fact introduced the concept of aging his characters, making them grow as the comic strip progresses through the years. Pin holes in the margins, small tear in the left margin. Signed and dated.
