Pages are very clean and intact except for discoloration on front and back endpapers, small occasional marks or stains, and light age toning throughout. Covers are very clean and intact except for darkening along spine, a few smudges, and slight wear to extremities. A Very Good copy. A collection of humorous "resolutions" containing witty sayings and life advice from R. F. Outcault's character, Buster Brown, a mischievous well-to-do boy who pulls all sorts of pranks and frequently gets into trouble. He is sometimes accompanied by his pet pit bull, Tige. Mary Jane, Buster's girlfriend, makes a few appearances in this book. Buster's advice appears to be aimed toward younger boys and instructs them on how to be good individuals. Please note: one of the resolutions includes one instance of the N-- word. Example of one Buster's resolutions: "Resolved: That music hath charms--the psychological secret of religious fervor is music--there ought to be good money in music (that's American); with money we can be generous and good. The richer we are the more generous we can be and the better we can be: And of course the happier--because to be good and generous is the only way to be happy. It is awful to see people with nothing but money. Buster Brown." Richard F. Outcault (1863-1928) was an American cartoonist and pioneer of the modern comic strip. He is perhaps best-known for his comic strip series, The Yellow Kid and Buster Brown.
