Abie the agent,Hershfield,c1930,6 panel comic strip

Title: Abie the agent. The man below you is trying to get some sleep! / Hershfield.
Creator(s): Hershfield, Harry, 1885-1974, artist
Date Created/Published: c1930.
Summary: Six-panel comic strip shows Abie receiving a phone call from the manager indicating that his card game is disturbing the man in the room below who needs to catch a 'seven o'clock train for Idaho.' Abie is so apologetic that he finally calls up the man below (who has finally gotten asleep) to inform him that there is also 'another Idaho train at eight ten!!' Abie, the Agent was drawn from 1914 to 1940 by Harry Hershfield, a noted humorous writer, radio personality, and toastmaster. The strip was the first to have a sympathetic Jewish main character. Abe Kabible was an auto salesman or 'agent,' and he worked diligently to improve his lot in life. Hershfield poked gentle fun at Abie and his convoluted language, a mixture of tangled grammar and Yiddish expressions.
