First Edition.
Clare Briggs exemplified the larger journey of American society from small-town innocence to urbane sophistication. Briggs drew low-key strips in two modes: nostalgic reveries focused on memories of small-town boyhood and satirical strips about the squabbles inherent in married life. "Oh Skin-Nay!" is a collaboration between Briggs and poet Wilber D. Nesbit and portrays a year in the life of small-town America through the eyes of a 12 year old boy - wood gathering, sleigh rides, games of post office, swimming holes, and sandlot ball games.
