The Fortunes of Ferdinand Flipper

A delightful oddity from the 19th-century humor magazine Wilson and Company, The Fortunes of Ferdinand Flipper ran for a single issue in 1851. Illustrated by the talents of D. C. Johnston and Grandville, this comic strip stands as an early, playful artifact of sequential art, offering a glimpse into the whimsical storytelling of the Victorian era. Its brief existence marks a curious footnote in pre-modern comics history.
