Back in 2013, we brought you a bunch of examples<\/a> of Scrappy Sayings<\/em>, a comic panel–weird even by Scrappy standards–that Columbia syndicated to small newspapers in the mid-1930s in hopes of getting some free promotion for its animated shorts. (The papers didn’t pay<\/em> for these, did they?)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Last year, Friend of Scrappy Jason Fiore found more of the panels<\/a>, which inspired me to locate even more. And now another Scrapologist, Christian Bajusz, has tracked down another dozen of them, including the intact version of one I previously published with a big chunk torn out of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As usual, our mystery artist seems most interested in topics that are odd fodder for a feature about a little boy, such as romance, auto safety, and skeletons in one’s closet. He (or she) draws an adult woman whose head is about 1\/5th the size of Scrappy’s, and I can’t tell if it’s an artistic quirk or evidence of lack of skill, or maybe a telltale sign of a swipe from a non-Mintz source. (There were not a lot of grown women depicted in Scrappy cartoons.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This batch also has the distinction of including the first one that I found ever so slightly entertaining: “If your best girl asks you to sing with her–duet!” (Okay, I’m easily amused.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thank you for these, Christian. At this point, I wouldn’t be started if we keep uncovering new Scrappy Sayings<\/em> forever. I’d just like to know who was responsible for it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
