I gone and cleaned up a whole month's worth of Alfred. Alfred was a regular cartoon in Collier's from 1942, by Foster Humphreville. In 1949 the cartoon series topped and on October 17 a daily strip version started in the Milwaukee Journal by Milwaukee artist Carl Ryman. I got most of my information from Alex Jay and Alan Holtz at the Stripper's Guide. They in turn referred to my posting of some of the cartoons here on this blog. Very little is known about these cartoonists or their character or why he looks so much like Alfred Hitchcock. The strip itself is similar to Nancy and Louie, with the main character who acts like he is a silent character in a talking world. Here is the third month.

To Fritzy For Me
Monday Comic Strip Day.
Oh, what special hell it must be to be the lesser known relative of a media darling. No, I am not talking of the Kardassians, but that other family of well known females, who filled the pages of the American newspapers every day and every Sunday. Of course Nacy was the better known of the two. And up till this day she still gets all the attention, both from the general public and the intelligentia trying to give it's wholesome humor a deeper meaning. But all the while Nacy's aunt, Fritzi Ritz, can parade around in her underwear all she wants but no one gives her, or that curly haired boy that follows her around, any credit. While her gags were written and drawn by the same genius that created her annoying little niece. So here is a large selection of Fritzi's Sunday gags in tabloid form. I thought I had shown some of these before, but it seems they were just waiting for the right moment. So now you get them all at once. As a bonus.
