Besides "Mr George and Wifey" and "The Irresistible Rag" (which I believe I misidentified as "Irresistible Rags" in the World Encyclopedia of Comics) he created others; and many one-shots. <br /><br />He remained in Philadelphia even after joining Hearst and succeeding Dirks. For all the happy mayhem and slapstick in his pages, he was reserved and dignified in person, with trademark waxed moustache. <br /><br />By the way, besides Joe Doyle succeeding Knerr, Joe Gallagher, an Inquirer cartoonist who had lost both his legs, inherited his creations too.<br /><br />Good work, Ger!
