Thanks once again Lyons!
Wonderful!
What the boys are swimming in on the cover is, I believe a water trough which used to be put out for animals to drink.
Marbles! That brings back memories. Does anybody play marbles any more?
The current generation missed out on so much!
That tree on page 6 is obviously a Maple, and that boy is drinking pure Maple Syrup. Where's the anit-sugar moralists?
As the guy with the pointy ears used to say, 'Fascinating!'
Cheers!

A splendid find! I was unfamiliar with Donahey. My appreciation of his artwork grew with each new page. He makes me think of a combination of Zim's characters and T. S. Sullivant's inking style. Beautiful rendering (backgrounds, too) and a real knack for the vignette. I wish they'd have reproduced the cartoons a little larger. They are too small for the page. And I wish the captions had been set in larger type; my aging eyes had a heck of a time reading some of them.
