Title: Bobby Make-Believe. His imagination soars skyward / King.
Creator(s): King, Frank, 1883-1969, artist
Date Created/Published: [between 1915 and 1919]
Summary: Twelve-panel comic strip shows a teacher telling the class, 'The principal products of Virginia are corn, peanuts, and tobacco.' Bobby begins to daydream about taking his pretty girl friend, Virginia, on a magical trip through the sky, holding on to an umbrella. He comes back to earth with a thump when the teacher asks him a question about Virginia's tobacco. The other children laugh when Bobby responds, 'Why -- I never knew she had any.' This strip was drawn from 1915 to 1919 by Frank O. King, who subsequently became famous as the cartoonist for the long-lived Gasoline Alley.
