Another significant one.
T.A. Tad Dorgan was a significant cartoonist who also created comic strips, first, 'Jonnny wise' and later ' Silk Hat Harry's Divorce Suit.' He did regular sports cartoon strips. This was his first book.

He is also credited with creating many slang terms, some of which are still used today. He also claimed to have invented the term, 'Hot Dog'.

His argument for how he thought up the term makes sense, but its more likely he popularized it rather than made it up.
Once again thank you Lyons. Invaluable.
Crazy Book tho. Makes me wonder if he and Herriman were pals. Basically a verbal standup routine. This guy was a very quick thinker.
'Quick Watson, the Needle!'
You might find me using that a bit in my posts!
