Description
Including 5 large story boards (23" x 18") and 7 smaller story boards from the cartoonist's "Seein' Stars" Sunday comic strip (King Features, mid-1930s), each featuring drawings and trivia about entertainment stories of the time, each featuring at least one Shirley Temple snippet, including story of the gift of "Shirley's $2000 doll" (the life-size Japanese bride, #171 of this book), and another declaring Shirley Temple "is a Kentucky Colonel, captain of the Texas Rangers...and official mascot of the Chilean army". Also included is a "Snoppyquops for Shirley" story board with amusing drawings of comic characters such as "Coo-Coo de Boid Man". Good to excellent condition, some roughness at edging, few missing drawings, three white-out messages on "Snoppyquops". Feg Murray (1907-1962) studied art at Stanford University and became known as an artist, writer, and syndicated columnist, mostly for his series "Seein' Stars" which combined sketches of stars with pithy trivia related to the sketch.
