Another wonder from the Film Daily (the July 1st, 1931 issue): a Scrappy ad spread. (This is from Archive.org’s 1400-page volume, so it’s understandable that the middle didn’t quite make it into the scan.)
As with other early marketing of Scrappy, Mintz and/or Columbia genially presented their young star as…pretty much a total jerk. Here, he takes pleasure in pulling a girl’s braids until she weeps.
Speaking of jerkiness, note that Charles Mintz claims to have created Krazy Kat. I wonder if George Herriman ever saw this?
