“Chase’s has captured for this week R.F. Outcault, the famous cartoonist, creator of those funny comic newspaper supplement characters, “The Yellow Kid,” “Buster Brown, &c. Mr. Outcault was the originator of this imaginative form of amusing caricature and there has been an abundant crop of imitators and imitations.””
"While here he will give a number of characteristic stories, emphasized by his offhand crayon sketches."
"It proved so clever and so laughable that vaudeville speedily persuaded the artist-humourist that he was wasting his talent away from the theaters to the popular form of tabloid amusement."
