(From the Lambiek Comiclopedia: - See thousands of comic artists in the Lambiek Comiclopedia)   Bertie Brown (Albert Thacker Brown) (1887 - 1974, UK) Albert Thacker Brown, known as Bertie Brown, was the cartoonist who created the first 'Charlie Chaplin' comic. It appeared in 1915 in Funny Wonder number 72, a British weekly comic magazine published by Amalgamated Press. Bertie Brown had already been drawing 'Homeless Hector' for Illustrated Chips, also published by Amalgamated Press, since 1908. He also drew for magazine Puck. He illustrated the first color cover in 1913, in the Christmas issue (sold at the staggering price of 2 dimes), with the story 'Xmas adventures of Jolly Joe Jinks'. Brown served in the Royal Field Artillery during World War I, and afterwards reassumed his work as an artist for publications like Bubbles, Rainbow, Puck, Jester, Butterfly, Chips, Comic Cuts and Jolly Comic. His serials include 'Pa Perkins and Percy' (Chips, 1922-58), 'Dad Walker and his Son Wally' (Larks, 1927-40), 'Constable Cuddlecook' (Jester, 1920s-1940) and 'Smiler and Smudge' (Butterfly, 1926-40). He retired in 1958. This particular work was done for The Sparkler, a UK publication, and appeared in print sometime prior to 1949. The Reverse is marked THE SPARKLER and BLOCKS TO THE ???? all in stamped black ink. In addition, it is marked July 6th and -10th in hand written cursive. Further, it is HAND SIGNED ON THE REVERSE: A. T. (Bertie) Brown. This is important because Brown never signed his work! at least not on the front face of the work according to the above mentioned source.
