Description | Thirteen-panel comic strip shows Happy Hooligan in Paris, preparing to marry his girlfriend Suzanne. While taking a walk in a happy daze, he agrees to help some Parisian urchins who want to draw a portrait on a blank wall. Happy's portrait shows himself being collared by a policeman, and the police do indeed show up and arrest him. The dialogue is carried on in a kind of fractured French, understandable to an English reader. Frederick Opper first drew Happy Hooligan in 1900, and the strip continued for more than 30 years. Happy was a feckless Irish tramp with a tin can for hat. In most strips he fell afoul of the law while trying to help others. |
