Dok’s Dippy Duck (June 11-13, 1923)

Seattle Times, June 13, 1923:

Three more days and then The Times Fun Frolic, the great annual girls’ day at Woodland Park.

Ushering in summer vacation with a three-ring-circus program of games, races, prizes, baseball, track, story telling and entertainment, the Fun Frolic this year will be the “day of days” for every girl in Seattle.

By the time the opening parade winds in a picturesque procession around the park until the last pretty dancer in the Junior Girls’ Dancing Frolic has made her bow, there will be something doing every minute. This is the assurance of the Fun Frolic committee headed by Miss Iphigene Banker of the city playfield department and of the other organizations who are cooperating with The Time and the committee to make the Fun Frolic a real carnival of fun for Seattle girls.

And yes, they put it together for a few decades.

Ripped from the headlines.

Drakeville has a criminal element. His name is Jerry.

It’s hard to say if he sold those bootleggers their mustard gas, since he was notorious about not leaving a paper trail, but it shouldn’t be a surprise that he’s getting his webbed toes wet in the prize fighting racket.

Anyway, since this is a Seattle cartoon, Green Lake was named for its naturally occurring algae blooms. Random Extra Duck was convinced the color was added by contractors and paid cash for his ignorance.
