The fourty-third comic: #26 The Gumps
Today we're covering a 1917 newspaper comic about an inventor (although that barely comes up in the ones we read) and his family. Constrained to the Sunday comics as we are (availability is limited), it feels like the setup is too long and the pay off too little, with most punchlines just not that funny. It might have been special at the time, but it feels like it all bypassed me here.
