Hoo-Hah! Out Our Way - Born Thirty Years Too Soon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781702804745)

J. R. Williams has often been called "The Mark Twain of the American Newspaper Cartoon." This volume is the second of a series devoted to J. R. Williams' long-running "Out Our Way" panels (1922-1957). The "Born Thirty Years Too Soon" cartoon panels manage to be both funny and touching, each one carrying his own authentic real life experiences of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Williams himself left home at an early age and worked as a cavalry man, a cowboy, and machinist. His true-life experiences became the basis for his cartoons, and his panels were among the most clipped ever to appear in newspapers. To this day, "Out Our Way" scrapbooks from the twenties and thirties still regularly show up at estate sales and thrift shops."His men and women and children are the Americans we will want those of the future to remember and not those we hope they will forget." - Russell Crouse ("The Sound of Music" author) The editors of Hoo-Hah have restored Williams' drawings from yellowed clippings to look like they originally appeared when first printed -- large formatted and with clean lines. In the near future, more Hoo-Hah publications will be printed, devoted to single subjects, or a variety of Classic American humorous stories, comics, and film.
