A great WESTERN unposted divided back WOOD GRAINED postal mailing card postcard SET OF CONSECUTIVE NUMBERED Cartoon cards SERIES 1 ~~ #502 thru #510.
J. R. Williams was a syndicated cartoonist for the N. E. A. ( The Newspaper Enterprise Association ) and first appeared in newspapers on March 20, 1922. The single-panel series introduced a variety of characters, including the cowboy Curly and ranch bookkeeper Wes, and soon led to a Sunday strip, Out Our Way with the Willets. Frequently-used settings reflected Williams's experiences before he became a cartoonist, and included factory floors, mechanic shops, and cattle ranches — in fact, cowboys and other ranch denizens appeared so frequently, it could almost have edged " Little Joe " out as comics' first successful western, if other settings hadn't been prominent as well. Family life and the adventures of small town boys were also common themes. Williams often used multiple large word balloons when the situation called for it, but if the picture stood on its own, didn't mind getting the words out of the way and using only a single short caption. He often re-used the same captions, such as Born Thirty Years Too Soon, Heroes Are Made, Not Born, Bull of the Woods and Why Mothers Get Gray. The Worry Wart was frequently used as a caption for panels starring a boy of about eight. Wart was one of several recurring characters, but the daily didn't have a regular star. These were published by Standley - May Inc. ~~ Box 825 ~~ Albuquerque , New Mexico.
