Comic Strip Coming
To Arts Club.
Next Sunday an exceptionally in
teresting show will open at the Arts
Club, to remain about a fortnight. It
will deal with the ancient and
honorable lineage of the comic strip,
beginning with Egyptians and in the

and tracing it to the present day.
Each section of the show is in
troduced by descriptive panel with
beautiful calligraphic treatment by
Oscar Ogg. Medieval manuscripts,
block books, broadSides and popular
illustrations, 18th and 18th century
pictures by Toepffer, Dore and Will
helm Busch, are all a part of comic
strip history. The men who popu-
larized the comic strip at the turn
of the century are to be represented
by a large collection of original
drawings, and the most popular of
our modern strips will be given con-
siderable attention.
The show will also include exam
pies of the use of comics for ad-
vertising and for propaganda, as
we'll as the development of the
comic book. Finally, we shall see
our comics as South America sees
them Gin SPANISH.
