Book of Bow-Wows
The Book of Bow-Wows (1913) by Elizabeth Gordon illustrated by TAD. I have been asked if this book was illustrated by sports cartoonist "Tad" Dorgan, and I believe it is him but can't be sure. Tad was famous not because of his drawing, which was occasionally amateurish, but for his slangy humor and verbal invention. These drawings also seem to be drawn in a clumsy (but charming nonetheless) manner. Any comments pro or con would be welcome. Thanks to Ellen in the Netherlands for the neat images.
