Old Doc Yak


Old Doc Yak
Originally uploaded by Ape Lad.

From barnaclepress.com, a treasure trove of old comics. They have tons and tons of Old Doc Yak strips, chronicling his hare-brained cosmetic adjustments to fellow animals who are his patients, his attempts to get these patients to pay, how he came upon a million dollar bill, and his many failed attempts to cash it. From 1912-13. Funny, readable, and it even has a monkey.
Click on it to read it.
Also, Barnacle Press has a store on CafePress with a t-shirt featuring the last panel of this strip. I have one and wear it far too often.

I post old comics regularly on my blog as well... I've been focusing recently on old Happy Hooligan and Lulu and Leander strips I scanned from the turn of the last century.
