Great article, but how have I made it to 2018 without knowing about The Fighting Hobo?  I strongly feel he's going to fix everything in INFINITY WAR 2.

Big Week for CAF Folk - I was reading Sunday July 1 LA Times and there is a 2/3rd page on Mr. Gold's new memoir - but no mention of the Kirby chair!

Hahah - it was great fun to have the NY Times in my house -- my family was impressed.  But, I screwed up, shortly after the interview I learned of a FOURTH Hobo character from the Golden Age -- oops

I fully embrace the era's hobophilia.

Others may have known him longer and more may know him better, but how many have a sketch by our hero in their 3-Minute Sketchbook?


I call it "3MS by OMLguy."

No doubt the sale of my copy will fund my retirement! Right?

That is a Finn original -- they are exceedingly rare.....yet, I'm sorry to say, of minimal value.  Like many artists, his market will likely skyrocket about his death and people will clamor for his Snoopy renditions....

I have no doubt this will fund the college educations of my great-grandchildren. After all, it’s by the greatest artist/lawyer of his generation.

Great stuff. Reminded me I had this. Think it was published in 1941. Titled “Fighting Hobo:  The Early Years”. 

 

[Michael (OML)1]

Yes, it was the Young Hobo
