This November 25 1906 North Side News, Bronx, New York is a full spread of four pages. The interior has green color printing only has old tape and splits along the folds. Yes, the Ah-sid strip is incredibly racist and I hesitate showing it but as far as Americana from this period in our history, it is how many folks saw it back then.
\"Little Ah Sid the Chinese Kidstarted on March 6 1904 and the initial run ended on November 6 of that year. But Rigby later revived the strip for a longer run at World Color, penning new episodes from October 15 1905 to May 19 1907.Clarence Rigby, one of the regulars at World Color Printing, pennedLittle Ah Sid the Chinese Kid, one of the longer running series from that preprint syndicate. Ah Sid was the young Americanized child of native Asian parents. The comedy highlighted the very common problem in those days of immigrant parents dealing with children who felt far more in tune with their new country. However, if by that description you take it that the strip was some profound socially relevant historical document keep in mind that the gags seldom rose above the level of racist slurs against Asians.\"
The color in this copy hasnt faded much. I have owned this since about 1996.
The other strips were crafted by local New York artists who probably did work for the World Color Printing Syndicate

Most of my early newspaper comics are unique to .Please note that 100+ years newsprint is fragile and if you put these in the sun or bright light for even a few hours, the color will disappear and the paper will disintegrate.
