Find of Newspaper Funny Pages Proof Sheets
We have been fortunate enough to acquire a supply of comic

appeared weekly every Sunday. The comic strips on each page are

by Ed. Anthony, drawn by Ruth Carrol. Each proof sheet is different
and has been folded in the middle. Some have thumbtack holes at
the top and bottom from their use at the paper. Size 17 1/2"
x 24".
Both of these comic strips are King Features Syndicate.
