Alec the Great was a syndicated newspaper gag panel created by Edwina Dumm and featuring a dog character (as did her other comic strip, Cap Stubbs and Tippie). It ran from 1931 to 1969.[1]
Characters and story
In Alec the Great, Dumm illustrated verses written by her brother, Robert Dennis Dumm, about the small dog, Alec. Their collaboration was published as a book, Alec the Great: 1,001 Verses - Wise, Witty and Cheerful (Crown, 1946). Comics historian Maurice Horn notes that Alec looked exactly like Tippie.[2]
Another dog book by Edwina Dumm was Sinbad: A Dog's Life, published by Coward McCann in 1930. Alec and Tippie both looked like Sinbad, who was based on Dumm's real-life dog Sinbad.
