Dok's Dippy Duck (July 12-14, 1923)

And now, a special bonus: The winner of the Dippy Duck contest.

Seattle Times, July 14, 1923 posted:

Mary MacMillan, who'll be 13 years old this month, has been scheming and saving for a vacation and dreaming about the fine time she would have if she went to the Y. W. C. A. summer camp.

When Dok Hager's "Dippy Duck" started on his vacation a few weeks ago, naturally Mary, interested in everything pertaining to vacations, followed his peregrinations on the comic page of The Time each day.

And because she guessed every country the Duck visited, she has earned her own cherished vacation.

She was the only child, of the hundreds in Seattle and throughout the state who competed, to guess every picture puzzle during the web-footed character's ramblings, and she will receive $25 for her effort.

"It was lots of fun to try to guess the country or city represented by the picture," said Mary, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. MacMillan of 1217 Eighth Ave. W. "And now I'll enjoy my own vacation more, because I earned it."

Mary, by the way, has a twin sister, Martha, and they look alike and usually dress alike. Both attend the West Queen Anne School, where they will be in the eighth grade when school reopens. Martha didn't enter the contest, thereby simplifying the task of the Duck Editor. Martha was as delighted as her sister when told of the result.

Mary likes geography along with her other studies, and she knows how to make use of the encyclopedia on occasion, as she showed when she traced down the picture puzzles.

Besides the children who strove to associate remarks about the size of a bridge with the "Bridge of Sighs" in Venice, and perfumes with Cologne, Germany, and so on, several grown-ups sent in their guesses. Mary can have the added satisfaction in knowing that even these ineligible competitors--whose answers would not have been considered anyway--did not equal her perfect score.

The places visited by the "Dippy Duck" were Belgium (Brussels); Scotland, the quotation being from "The Lady of the Lake;" Turkey (Angora); Ireland; Germany (Cologne); Italy (Venice); Russia; Egypt; Spain; England; France (The Louvre); Denmark; Switzerland and Holland. The invitation to children to guess the place represented in the picture was published each day.

tl;dr: Not only did they give a 13 year-old the equivalent $372.95 in modern money, but they told everybody where she lived and where she goes to school! The past is a whole other country, isn't it...

Just Dan Again: Dec 16, 2012; Adventure!

I love Out Our Way to begin with, but the "Born Thirty Years Too Soon" strips are especially fascinating. It's incredibly cool to see the transition from the turn of the century to the twenties and thirties from the perspective of someone who lived through both, particularly since I don't think the idea of decades having their own individual character was as culturally ingrained as it's become today.

I don't normally comment on Out Our Way because it tends to be good and most of the little historical bits get explained so I don't need to ask, but this was a pretty good batch.

Although, as much as I like Out Our Way, I tend to skip the factory ones.

Samovar: Jun 4, 2011; When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

In today's Corto Maltese: Corto plans a little vacation, or We learn a bit more on this enigmatic, unscrupulous Chekvet fellow, or Sala-ad din refers to THE Saladin of third Crusade fame.

And here is the first sign that the art is not going to be so good. Ibahiya is just flat-out poorly drawn. You will see more examples later on, tho.

I have really been digging the art style in these last couple, even if the historical accuracy is rather questionable. I don't think I'd like the art if there were a comic with it every single day, but it's really cool.

That's great, and it reminds me of something I've been meaning to post for a while. Possibly even did post, but I can't remember:

There's about 4 volumes out, too, and I keep seeing them around. Feels super weird to pass the little girls section of a bookstore and spot something you could hold up and say "this one's really good actually" about. And all the marketing blurbs are super tailored towards little kids, too.
