You’re waited more than long enough for another installment of the Scrappy<\/em> newspaper comic strip, which may never have appeared in an actual newspaper, but did run in Wags<\/em>, a comic weekly published in Australia and the UK. (Here, in case you missed them, are the first six strips<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

The Scrappy<\/em> strip was produced by Eisner & Iger Associates. I’m still not the least bit sure which artist or artists in its employ worked on it–more thoughts on that in a future post–but I find that the strip, while a bit crude, is surprisingly engaging. These strips introduce Mr. De Welth, the kleptomaniac millionaire, who’s a genuinely entertaining character. And whoever is drawing this seems to be having fun.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: I think that the odds are that the persons or persons responsible for this work did other comics, too, and we’ll be able to figure out who deserves the credit.<\/p>\n

I find one panel in this sequence especially tantalizing:<\/p>\n

\"margypanel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With its dramatic staging, that’s either a one-panel contribution by someone other than the person who drew the rest of Scrappy<\/em>, or proof that the Scrappy<\/em> artist also did stuff other than a silly strip drawn in a very rough approximation of a third-tier animation studio’s style. Could it be Lou Fine? Mort Meskin? Will Eisner himself?<\/p>\n

Anyhow, here’s more Scrappy<\/em> for you. Stay tuned for further adventures.<\/p>\n
