George Herriman Baron Bean Daily Comic Strip Original Art (c. 1916). Three months before the Sunday Krazy Kat began, this domestic comedy strip debuted by the same artist, George Herriman. Looking quite a bit like the popular Mutt and Jeff dailies, this feature starred the Baron, a tall, mustachioed poser and freeloader, usually accompanied by his faithful valet and sidekick, Grimes. Baron Bean is considered quite scarce in today's marketplace -- this only the third episode we have offered to date. Note the classic "plop" take in the final panel. This episode has an image area of 26.5" x 6.5", and aside from some paper aging along the left and right edges and some corner creasing, the art is in Very Good condition.

Alternate Artist Spellings: "George Herriman", "Herriman, George"
