"MAN BITES DOG” Headline San Diego EVENING TRIBUNE 22-pg newspaper July 22, 1950:
$99.00

"VICIOUS MAN BITES DOG; POLICE TAKE FASTACTION" reads this classic headline in the July 22, 1950 issue San Diego Evening Tribune.

Whether a movie prop or an inside joke short run, this full paper is a popular collectible for its fantastic article above the fold on the front page about Orson Clam biting "Rollo, a 3-year old dog owned by Mr. &Mrs. Ethelbert R. Phlub of 4277 Poodle Place." Old Orson,ofDogpatch, naturally, "was arrested 5 minutesafter the attack," and "The Phlubs were maintaining a constant vigil by (Rollo's) bedside."

The other articles appear to be legitimate news stories of the day, topped by a piece about Chinese Communist shelling on theisland of Formosa, now Taiwan, at the outbreak of the Korean War. And over in sports, the San Diego Padres tightened their hold onthird place in the Pacific Coast League, behind the Oakland Oaks and Hollywood Stars.

This publication may have been used as a movie prop or a special "gag" printing for Tribune employees and advertisers, butno one remains to offer the full story of this gag issue.

This paper has full sections A and B, with a total of 22pages, all in remarkably good condition for its age. It measures a full 16 x 23 inches.
