ComicaI Collection

WHEN ERNIE MCGEE was
w about 6 years old. he
began, over much parental pro-
test. to save the Sunday funny
papers week after week. Now a
grandfather, Mr.. MCGEE has in
his Philadelphia home probably
the largest private collection of
comic sections in the world. His
thick. newSpaper-sized volumes,
$50 of them, comprise the fruits
Of his collecting and those Of
collectors he's bought out.
Beginning with the Walt Mac
Dougall comic-style cartoons Of
1894, which outdate the famous
Yellow Kid by three years, Mr..
McGee's funny papers record the
growth and development of
comics. Many of the long-gone
funny-paper faces. now Just a
misty memory, spring back to
life as MCGEE flipS through his
muSty volumes.
Too much in love with comics
to leave them even in the work.
aday world, Ernie went to work
as a cartoonist, commercial
illustrator and chalk-talk enter
tainer. And though he likes to
draw, he likes better to thumb
through the pages of his old
volumes and resurrect such
characters as Alphonse and
CASTOR. Happy Hooligan and
Maud the Mule-his favorites
