| Description | Four-panel comic strip shows the villain, Rudolph Ruddigore Rassendale, freed from gravity, flying toward the moon, towing the heroine, Belinda Blinks behind him. He tells her he intends to leave her on the moon to keep the man in the moon company. In the next panel, he finds himself sucked back down to earth and into a "Giant Vacuum Cleaner," manned by the hero Hairbreadth Harry, who also produces an "Anti-Gravity Machine" to restore Belinda's gravity. The strip, first produced by Kahles in 1906, ran through numerous replays of old vaudeville melodramas and served as the inspiration for early silent movies. |
