Happy Hooligan Home Again

Frederick A. Stokes published this single-issue comic in 1907, collecting the misadventures of the beloved tramp character Happy Hooligan as he attempts to return home. The volume captures the gentle, slapstick humor that made Hooligan a newspaper strip sensation, with creator Frederick Burr Opper's expressive, cartoonish art defining the era's comic style. Though brief, it stands as an early example of a comic character transitioning from daily strips to a dedicated book format.
