Sekvenskonst featuring "Good ol' Skippy Skinner"

Now, I've been told that Charles M. Schulz was inspired by Percy Crosby. After seeing the above Sunday page I don't doubt it. :)

Ah! Found the li'l rascal hiding in my drawers.
Here we have the drawing by Floyd Gottfredson I mentioned in the previous post.

I don't know the name of this character. Maybe someone can help out?
This was saved next to a folded Skippy sunday from Sept 1, 1935. That sunday features the character, but not this exact pose.

And speaking of Skippy, the release of Skippy vs the mob seems to be an interesting one! Have to check it out!

Skippy

Some great, great poses on this Skippy page by Percy Crosby.
Just look at how Crosby handles his crow quill.
How he's twisting Skippy's body in a dynamic way.
Strong confident lines filled with ink and action. Me like!

The sample above is taken from Life, April 16, 1925.
More on Skipy can be found on www.skippy.com.

Hmm... Now that I think about it I might have some Skippy characters drawn by Floyd Gottfredson in my drawers.  Gotta dig 'em up.
