1912, rare, unreprinted, surreal street car ride as only Winsor McCay could envision!
Not one of his Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend comics, but very much in the same vein. This scan is from a scrapbook which has preserved the clarity of the strip, even as it was necessary to clip into two parts to fit on the page. In this case, the comic strip was printed on colored paper - a practice some papers briefly experimented with. The linework is bold and clear and it would be an easy matter with today’s tools to drop out the background and reassemble this appealing standout by a comic art master.
