Item Details
Description
PERCY CROSBY (1891-1964)
"How do you fellers stick it out like this?" Four-panel Skippy daily comic strip, dated July 15, 1925, with Johnson Features Inc. label in third panel. Ink and blue wash on Bristol board. 165x550 mm; 6½x21¾ inches, sheet. Signed by Crosby in third panel; two small thumbnail sketches of dog on verso. Percy Crosby's "Skippy," one of the most popular comic strips from 1923-1945, inspired Peanuts among many other cartoons. It was said that at its height Crosby's weekly salary was greater than that of the President of the United States. It was the basis for a highly successful 1931 motion picture comedy of the same name starring Jackie Cooper, who was nominated as Best Actor, the youngest to ever be nominated in that category. The popular peanut butter was named for the famous comic strip character.
