Pore Lil Mose: His Letters to His Mammy

R. F. Outcault, the pioneering cartoonist behind The Yellow Kid and Buster Brown, created this single-issue comic for Cupples & Leon in 1903. Presented as a series of illustrated letters from a young boy to his mother, the book showcases Outcault’s signature blend of gentle humor and detailed, expressive artwork. While brief, it stands as a charming artifact of early American comics, capturing the era’s fascination with mischievous children and the evolving form of the comic strip.
