Abe Martin was an anti-hero character, making wisecracker jokes and uttering sayings which became popular over the country, first appearing in newspapers in 1904. He was often portrayed wearing a floppy hat and sitting on a barrel, dispensing his witty and sometimes satirical commentary on various aspects of American society. The strip became immensely popular, especially in the Midwest, where it resonated with readers who appreciated its down-to-earth humor and insight into everyday life.
A GREAT ANTIQUE LOOK AT THE MIDWEST OVER 100 YEARS AGO!
