EDWINA DUMM Important Woman Cartoonist 17 Comic Strips. Vintage Original Artist Illustrator Ink Proof / Draft TIPPIE Comic newspaper Strip. 17 in total. Size: 16 in. x 23 in. Important Woman Listed Artist. ASKart: Edwina Dumm, who only signed her first name to her works, began her long career of incongruities by becoming the nation's first woman political cartoonist. This was at a time when women could not yet vote. She continued on a path of unlikely enterprises when she undertook doing a comic strip about the rambunctious activities of a boy and his dog. How could a woman accurately and humorously portray the workings of the juvenile male mind? Somehow it lasted nearly 50 years.The source of her material for a lifetime of drawing Cap Stubbs and Tippie was her own, fondly recollected childhood as a shy tomboy in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. This was a small town in which everyone knew everything about everybody. All the kids, including Edwina and her brother, played together. Edwina honed her drawing skill with the Landon School correspondence course, but took business courses in high school and worked as a stenographer for a while after graduating.

Light general wear. Overall good.
