The work of William Donahey from a 1920's issue of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, It also appeared in
Cartoons Magazine's May 1920 issue. His characters dead, empty eyes remind me of Harold Gray, the artist who gave the world
Little Orphan Annie. Donahey would achieve fame for his
Teeny Weenies strip which would run for 2100 strips and see merchandising as dolls, decals, clothing, handkerchiefs, and tins. He even had the mites shilling Monarch Foods and Reid-Murdoch.
