1926 Newspaper Convention Comic Supplement


The American Newspaper Publishers Association Convention in 1926 was naturally covered by Editor & Publisher. E&P previewed it in their April 17, 1926 edition. Included with that issue was a comic supplement which featured original comic strips by a number of syndicated cartoonists all concerning publishers, editors, and the convention.

It is proper that it was a Color Comic Supplement.

The Daily Cartoonist presents the pages from the Editor & Publisher archives which reproduced them in black and white. We will also present the Google Books version which has the color version. Note that both reproduced from bound volumes so they are not scanned from flat pages.
