Title: [McFadden's Row of flats inauguration of the football season in McFadden's Row] / R.F. Outcault.
Creator(s): Outcault, Richard Felton, 1863-1928, artist
Date Created/Published: [1896]
Summary: Cartoon shows the Yellow Kid, holding a football, charging through a group of players leaving bodies flying in all directions. The Kid's pet goat Plato and a biting dog add to the melee. The Kid's girl friend Liz, wearing knickers (labeled 'Vassar Junior, we have the hair') sprints along beside him. In the background, various spectators cheer him on. These include the four buxom Riccadonna sisters serving as cheerleaders, standing atop a coach labeled 'Sky Rocket Coach.' Above it all, someone throws a brick at a boy balanced precariously on a taut rope and Slippy Dempsey makes his daily fall from the roof of a house. The Yellow Kid wears a football sweater over his nightgown, which is labeled 'Talk about interference. Dis aint de first duck wot tried it wit me -- He dont like de way I has me hair cut.' A piece of paper reads, 'When he goes to bed at night, he is de undressed Yellow Kid -- so he has hired out to a glove house fer undressed kid wich is to be all de style.' This is one of the first cartoons drawn by Outcault after he left the New York World for the New York Journal. Since the World owned the rights to his former Yellow Kid cartoon, 'Hogan's Alley,' Outcault transferred the Kid and his gang to McFaddens Row.
