LIB OF AMER COMICS | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Collecting the works of one of the most important female cartoonists of all
time, Tippie will appeal to comics readers, students of women's studies,
and dog lovers.

Edwina Dumm was the country's first female
full-time editorial cartoonist, and one of its first female syndicated comic
strip creators. Tippie is truly a Library of American Comics Essential,
providing a crucial reading experience and offering perspective on the early
work of women in the field.

Here you'll find a delightful and
enlightening year of comic strips starring the lovable shaggy dog named Tippie;
his companion, the mischievous young boy named Cap Stubbs; and Cap's wise
Grandma. The strip, which ran from 1918 to 1966, started as a gag-a-day comic,
but by the mid-1940s was clearly a continuing saga about homespun life in a
small town.

LOAC Essentials reprints, one year at a time, the daily
newspaper strips that are essential to comics history, in a format that
preserves, as closely as possible, the original reader experience. By
reproducing the strips one per page in an oblong format, it allows us to have
the experience of reading the comics one day at a time. Each volume contains
seminal strips that are unique creations in their right and also contributed to
the advancement of the medium, along with panel-by-panel
annotations.
