Comics in the Spooky Age 🧛🧟‍♀️👻 @comicsinthega.bsky.social · 1h

Today is the birthday of Grace Drayton (Oct. 14, 1878-Jan. 31, 1936), who was among the first popular female cartoonists. She created the Campbell Soup Kids campaign in the early 20th century, & the newspaper strips Dottie Dimple, Dimples, Dolly Dimple & Bobby Bounce, & The Pussycat Princess.

Samples of her work, including two from her Campbell’s soup campaign, as well as a Dimples newspaper comic strip, and paper dolls.

I'm very sad to say that this event has to be cancelled!

Yesterday, I was among 8 arrested at an action demanding:

- The safe return of Freedom Flotilla members currently being detained in Israeli prisons, including Mskwaasin Agnew

- A two way arms embargo

- Immediate sanctions on Israel
