Merrill Blosser's Freckles and His Friends (September 8, 1935). Freckles does not appear in this installment. The young character seen here is Oscar.
Freckles and his Friends is an American comic strip set in the peaceful small town of Shadyside where young Freckles McGoosey and his friends lived. Although the long-running strip, created by Merrill Blosser, is remembered for its continuing storyline involving a group of teenagers, it originally featured a child at the age of six or seven in gag-a-day situations.[1][2]
Illustrated by Blosser and later by Henry Formhals (1908-1981), Freckles and His Friends was ghostwritten by Fred Fox (1903-1981). A gagwriter for Groucho Marx and Judy Canova, Fox scripted for radio, television and films.[3] Widely syndicated by Newspaper Enterprise Association, Freckles and His Friends had a long run through much of the 20th century.
