Listed in publication order.

1910

Two two-panels pans from The Terrors of the Tiny Tads comic strip, July 31, 1910, by Gustave Verbeek

July 31 1910 – from the comic strip The Terrors of the Tiny Tads by Gustave Verbeek  (scanned from the book Art Out of Time: Unknown Comics Visionaries 1900-1969, by Dan Nadel, published by Abrams, 2006.) Gustave Verbeek (1867-1937) is best known for very inventive earlier comics which read differently right-side up and upside down (check out the link! worth it.) Tiny Tads is still fairly inventive – but more in creating various oddball creatures including the above “Sombreroplane.” The Tads explore various landscapes; multi-panel pans stitch the landscapes together occasionally.
