Buster Brown Goes Swimming [Buster Brown Nuggets Series] #[2]

In "Buster Brown Goes Swimming," the mischievous young Buster tries to outwit his aunt by staging a fake drowning, stripping near a stream and hiding—only to find his clothes stolen by a passing stranger, a buzzing bee chasing him, and a very hurried, very naked dash back home. Created and illustrated entirely by R. F. Outcault, this 1907 installment from the *Buster Brown Nuggets Series* captures the comic's early charm with its playful art and slapstick humor, all rendered in bold lines and vivid colors. The cover by Outcault perfectly frames the chaos, a 25-cent slice of early 20th-century cartooning.
