The First Mum

Sunday Easter Booster.

 Some time agoI shared some work by the cartoonist Sakren who was one of the regulars of the Johstone and Cushing comic strip advertising company, along with Dik Brown, Gil Fox and Bill Williams. I knew he had a few newspaper strips in the late fifties and early fifties, but it turned out he had had a very funny silent comic strip in the late thirties. Well... it turns out that it was not so late in the thirties he began. Here are some Mortimer Mum dailies from when it started in 1935.
