Doo Dad Sundays IV

Doo Dad Sundays III

Unfortunately I don't have these Sundays dated and in order as they were on the original corrupted disc but some have dates. The very bottom piece is dated Sept, 14, 1924 and may actually be the first Sunday Doo Dads strip. I have been stitching these together from two scans for one Sunday and they don't always line up perfectly. The top piece is interesting for it's limited use of color. More tomorrow...

Doo Dad Sundays II

Top is dated February 15, 1925 but is dated 1924 in the corner. Below are two featuring the bagpipes.

Arch Dale's American Sundays 1924

Canadians owe a lot to Bill Blackbeard. A few years back Bill sent me b@w photocopies of Arch Dale's Doo Dads American Sunday strips. Bill had not seen the Canadian single-panel version and I had never laid eyes on an American Sunday which he had described as "Herrimanesque."

One day a large package arrived in the mail containing the complete run of original Sunday pages. I scanned them all and unfortunately while adding something to the cd the whole thing was wiped clean by a computer glitch. I had already sent the whole box of goodies back but luckily many examples had been saved to another disc and I am going to spend the week posting them entire.
