SEGAR, Artist
Creator of “Thimble Theatre”
Past master in creating the comic strip with a side-splitting wallop. Segar’s inspirations are light, frivolous humor based on some ridiculous suggestion. The “Thimble Theatre” in the Evening Journal plays to the largest audience of evening newspaper readers in America. That means nearly half of all the people in New York who buy any New York evening newspaper.
