Early works week: Signor de Pluro

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.
