'Erbie and 'Is Playmates -- Five Minutes of Fun with F. Opper

Frederick Burr Opper, the legendary New York Journal cartoonist, brings his signature wit to this single 1932 issue, a political comic produced for the Democratic National Committee. Featuring his beloved characters Erbie and 'Is Playmates, the book promises "Five Minutes of Fun" through Opper's characteristically lively, satirical cartooning. A unique piece of campaign ephemera, it captures a master of the form turning his talents to partisan cheerleading during a pivotal election year.
