Found in the Collection: Charles M. Payne “When Spooks do Walk and Witches Frolic”

With Halloween steadily approaching, we can’t resist posting some seasonally appropriate cartoons of yore. Below, the cover for the Philadelphia Sunday Press, one hundred and twelve years ago. We particularly like the stance of “Jimmy Tough” in the upper right panel of the page, and are baffled and dismayed by the sawed-in-half-cat in the bottom right. The cartoonist Charles M. Payne (more commonly noted as C.M. Payne), would later become known for his comic S’Matter, Pop which ran from 1911-1939.

Happy October!
