[The Hall Room Boys (later retitled Percy & Ferdie) was a comic strip by a Nova Scotian cartoonist living in New York City by the name of H.A. McGill.] The Hall Room boys were the subject of a number of Silent film shorts, some of which can be found here. They are not shot well, but the film that the videos were taken from looks quite good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yHfY0IzN2c&list=PL_h7fAKLkgQwtuHTuDiStsPofetnRY9rT Here is a list of the films. Must have been quite popular. https://columbiashortsdept.weebly.com/the-hall-room-boys.html [American Newspaper Comics (2012) said MacGill produced over twenty comic series. His best-known and longest-running series was The Hall-Room Boys also known as Percy and Ferdie. It ran from October 8, 1904 to April 3, 1924 with various syndicates. Percy and Ferdie was collected in a book.] https://strippersguide.blogspot.com/2018/07/ink-slinger-profiles-by-alex-jay-ha.html Cheers, Lyons!

You learn something new every day. On page 38, one of the boys says "I peel off a yellowboy" (referring to a $20 bill). I had never heard of this before, but apparently "yellow boy" was an English slang term from the 19th century referring to a gold coin (sovereign or guinea). So I guess it gradually became a reference to paper money in the USA. Who says comics aren't educational?

Re: Yellow boy. In the mid- 19th century yellow-backed gold certficates were redeemable for gold but treated like a medium of exchange like greenbacks. They looked much the same except for the colors. Technically gold but functionally paper. So one could "peel a yellow boy" off one's roll. They were also sometimes called shin plasters. But that is another story. :)
