rdfs:comment
  • Herriman drew his domestic comedy strip, The Dingbat Family, until 1916. From January 5, 1916 through January 22, 1919, Herriman also drew the daily Baron Bean. Herriman continued to draw other strips in addition to Krazy Kat through 1932. M. Thomas Inge took note of Herriman's interest in silent comedies and observed, "In his appearance, the Baron borrowed his cane and his facial features from Chaplin." Herriman had previously drawn a similar character, Baron Mooch, in 1909-10. In 1977, the strips were collected in Baron Bean: 1916-1917 (Hyperion Press).
