hmmm... 
"Following the appearance of Scott Joplin at the St. Louis World's Fair, "ragtime" music was all the rage. The premise of this strip was that a certain tune, once heard, simply could not be resisted. The listener became immediately afflicted with a sort of pre-Steve Martin case of "happy feet," dancing uncontrollably in spite of everything.The primary character was a highly stereotypical negro musician who delighted in the mischievous playing of the magical tune. Of course, such a character could not appear in the comic pages today. Students of comics history, however, know that there were many comic strips which featured such stereotypical characters. After all, the same people who were reading the "funnies" during this period were also attending live minstrel shows. While it is not a strip for which fans of Knerr may be proud, it is no more contemptible than many others of its type which appeared during the same period." http://www.geocities.com/...rrdex.html "Pedro offers you his protection." | |
