Coconino Classics
Thomas Rowlandson – “The Ugly Club”
For those who aren’t aware of this site, Coconino-Classics.com is an excellent French website which features galleries of early comic strips and illustrations. There are lots of Herriman (early Krazy Kat strips and lots of them), Cliff Sterrett, Rube Goldberg, George McManus. And lots more.
It’s a good place to spend and hour or two and comeback for more.
I was particularly entertained by William Glackens‘ panel strip, Rabbi Fleizer’s Xmas. It’s certainly an oddity and interesting. There’s something curious to me about seeing the print work of some notable artists like Glackens or Feininger or Kley or Cruikshank.
