Mr. Skygack Observes a Drunk Postcard
Images in my store have been copied, cleaned and colourized to properly welcome Mr. Skygack to the 21st Century!
Mr. Skygack from Mars" was a comic panel, penned by A. D. Condo, from 1907 to the mid 1910's. His mission was to come to earth and take notes of earthling behaviour to report back to Mars. Unfortunately, Mr. Skygack wasn't familiar with earthling behaviour, so he was forever misunderstanding the scene which he observed, making for some rather comical situations.
It is important to note that Mr. Skygack From Mars pre-dates Buck Rogers as a newspaper comic by over two decades, even though Buck gets the credit for being the first science fiction comic feature!
About dates: In the early days of comic strips & panels, it seems that there was not a set rule for regularity. Weekly features seemed to appear in the newspapers that carried them with regularity, but although "daily" comics did exist in some newspapers, other newspapers didn't seem to observe the rule. I have found Mr. Skygack comics appearing in the same paper four times in one week, and then not at all for the next two weeks. I have also found a particular Skygack panel in one newspaper, only to appear a week or two later in another paper. For this reason, when "dating" Mr. Skygack From Mars, I use the earliest date which I have personally found.
This image (Number 3 in the series), October 30, 1907: "Came across earth being standing at angle of forty-five degrees---caressing bright torch---body swayed laterally---talked very loud in thick dialect, but said little---saw several such during night."

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
