LOOPING THE LOOP Cartoon

LOOPING THE LOOP is a frequently mentioned, but seldom seen, comic strip that E.C. Segar did prior to his creation of Popeye. "The Loop" is a Chicago reference and the strip was done for THE CHICAGO EVENING NEWS in 1918-1919. The strip reviewed local entertainment of the day.
