In this lot is an original comic panel by J. R Williams, c. 1930. James Robert Williams (March 30, 1888 – June 17, 1957) was a Canadian cartoonist. He was best known for his long-run daily syndicated panel, “Out Our Way”. “Out Our Way” first appeared in newspapers on March 20, 1922. The single-panel series introduced a variety of characters. In this framed original is three kids "running away from home"; at the bottom it reads, "Moments we'd like to live over. The quitters and the stickers". Two of the boys are longing for home as they see a family sitting down to dinner, but "Shrimp" is determined on his path. This Scene is signed in the lower right corner and dated 10-23. In the lower left corner, under the date, is a strip of paper that reads (copyright) 1930 by NEA Service, Inc. meaning this scene was sold for the publication. The scene is professionally matted and framed in a gold frame. There is some foxing to the original paper that adds to the authenticity and uniqueness of this piece, as does the faint pencil sketch marks (made pre "inking" the work). The visible art measures 12" X 12"; the frame measures 19" X 19".
