Here’s one of the many panel features marketed by Ledger Syndicate. Otto’s Auto was unsigned and the credit in the E&P listing was just to ‘Otto’. The delightful art kind of has the look of a style sometimes used by Dorman H. Smith to me. I’m probably off-base though since he was busy at NEA at the time. Another dim possibility might be F.G. Cooper. Anybody else have a guess about the mystery artist?
Otto’s Auto was syndicated in 1927-28. Sorry, haven’t been able to pin down exact dates on this one.
Thanks to Cole Johnson who supplied the samples.
Hello, Allan—–I’ve found OTTO’S AUTO starting in the Philadelphia ILLUSTRATED SUN on August 8, 1927. One of the staff artists on this PUBLIC LEDGER-owned paper was Ray Rohn—Do you think he’s the artist here? Looks like his stuff to me.————-Cole Johnson.
