content: Moon Mullins was created and drawn by Frank Willard (1893-1958), later drawn by Ferd Johnson (1905-1996), Willard's assistant. The strip was syndicated by The Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate Company from 1923 until 1991. The strip featured a cast of characters at a boarding house, including the title character Moonshine "Moon" Mullins, a failed and often broke prizefighter. This is an original drawing by Johnson of Moon jumping into "Dad's" arms.
