This week with many thanks the comic researcher Alan Holtz (strippersguide) some early works of our favourites. Today Sidney Smith with two half pages of Signor de Pluro a variation of Opper's Alphonse and Gaston. So we have jokes about French immigrants, now Italian immigrants although Signor the Pluro came from "Plunk" according to Smith. And of course we have our German immigrants Osgar und Adolf. Signor the Pluro ran in 1903 and 1904.

Frank King Editorial 1913: Soften the sound of L (??)

Frank King Editorial 1913: Domestics Organize

After looking at the editorials of 1912 and 1913 we can can say the upcoming troubles and the Great War was a blessing for cartoonist. At last they had something to tell about. These pre WWI cartoons must be seen in that sense.
There was not much going on in 1912 and 1913. Boring peaceful times.
