Hans and Fritz

Hans and Fritz, a comic series launched by Saalfield Publishing Company in 1917, is a single-issue oddity from the early days of American comics. Though the series ran for just one issue, it stands as a curious artifact of its era, capturing the simple, gag-driven humor that defined newspaper-style strips of the time. Its brevity makes it a footnote in comic history, but one that reflects the experimental nature of the medium in its formative years.
