Comics: "Bill" by Rube Goldberg

Here's another strip from May 1, 1932.

Comics - Boob McNutt

I think we can all agree that the Chronicle's comic page is lacking a good story about a dirigible.  I especially love the line "To lose control of a dirigible is a serious matter - especially when your gas is low and you're many miles from land."  Words to live by.

Comics - The Van Swaggers

Another comic strip from May 1, 1932, "The van Swaggers."

And a "Tillie the Toiler" Paper Doll:

Sunday Comics

In restoring an old house, one often finds memorabilia from the past, hidden away in the walls.  Recently, when working on the Walnut Street house, we came across the Sunday Comics from May 1st, 1932.

It's interesting to see the changes in newspapers over the years. The comics are a much larger format, and the drawings have incredible detail.  And they're pretty bizarre.

Here, for your reading pleasure, is "Tillie the Toiler"
