| In the fall of 1932, Caniff went to New York City to work at Associated Press as staff artist. He was soon asked to take over the panel cartoon Mister Gilfeather from another young artist, Al Capp, when Capp went to work as Ham Fisher's assistant on Joe Palooka. Caniff transformed the feature into The Gay Thirties, a folksy reflection of daily life. In late July 1933, Caniff created a new comic strip, Dickie Dare, which was based on the dream adventures of a little boy. |
