Roger Bean, R. G.

The six-issue run of Roger Bean, R. G. (1915–1919) from Indiana News Company follows the title character, a "Rural Gentleman" navigating early 20th-century small-town life. This obscure comic strip, produced in the silent-era heyday of newspaper humor, offers a gentle slice-of-life glimpse into Midwestern Americana. While its creator is not widely remembered today, the series stands as a modest but charming artifact of the regional comic strips that filled the funny pages before the rise of syndicated giants.
