Wash Tubbs est considéré comme le pionnier des bandes dessinées d'aventures qui ont dominé les pages drôles du journal des années 20 aux années 60. Voici un exemple très précoce, pour être exact, le 44e quotidien de toute la série et datant du début de sa première année. Crane était un maître du dessin animé et son style animé exagérait les expressions corporelles et la posture avec beaucoup d'effet, comme le montre cet exemple. Je possède les 18 premiers volumes des réimpressions NBM en cours jusqu'en 1943, mais je viens tout juste de faire une petite brèche dans la série. Parmi ceux qui ont lu beaucoup plus de séries de bandes dessinées que moi, Wash Tubbs, Little Orphan Annie et Terry and the Pirates sont systématiquement ceux qu'ils recommandent pour les meilleures histoires et lectures, bien que beaucoup d'autres soient également fortement recommandés.

Here is a super early example, to be exact, the 44th daily in the entire series and from early in its inaugural year. Crane was a master of cartooning and his animated style exaggerated body expressions and posture to great effect as shown in this example. I own the first 18 volumes of the NBM reprints running until 1943 but have only just made a small dent in the series. From those that have read a lot more strip series than myself, Wash Tubbs, Little Orphan Annie and Terry and the Pirates are consistently the ones they recommend for the best stories and reading although many others come highly recommended too.
