| Right Around Home (Myrtle) by
Dudley Fisher (1210-) 1st appearance 1935, 1st daily May 26, 1941 - Some of the
greatest cartoonists of all such as Frank Godwin worked on vignette-style strips, but the
master of the strip was undoubtedly Dudley Fisher. Fisher was already a cartoonist
and artist of some note when he created Right around Home in 1935. Right around Home
solidified the style with a focus on the scenes of the common family - which made the
strip very popular to adult readers. The strip had a star in the
youngest daughter of the family, the precocious Myrtle. Her antics added a
dimension of attraction to the younger readers. Given the limited space of the
daily strip, making that her personal playland was smart decision. Although
the strip lasted into the 1960's, the reduction of size in most strips beginning in mid
40's hit this strip very hard. Fisher and his successors tried to compensate
for reduced sizes by reducing panorama spacing. The gag quality remained sharp
but the visual appeal wained because of this. The market for Right around home
reflects this change. The full-size full-color gems of the early days of the
strip have a moderately strong demand, while the later smaller strips tend to move only at
discount. Dailies are slower movers, usually asked for by the nostalgic or the
completist. |
