Energizing Mr. Philips
Monday Cartoon Day.
Irving Philips is best know for his silent gag strip Mr. Mum, which ran from the late fifties til the early seventies as a daily panel and Sunday strip. Before that Philips worked as a cartoonist, but before that he had another strip that was much less fanciful. It ran in selected papers in the early fifties, usually as a square of four panels. Apparently there was a cartoon version as well, whichmakes me think it started life as a regular cartoon series for on eof the weekly's (or a proposal for one). I have shown some of these before, but the (original) cartoon is a new find.

Silent Master
Tuesday Comic Strip Day.
Many comic strip artists didn't come out of nowhere. Some had previous careers as cartoonists, animators, comic book artists or worked in advertising. Others had another comic strip before they found the one that made them famous.Irving Philips had a run of the mill kids comic strip called Scuffy in the early fifties. Eight years later he hit the jackpot with Mr. Mum (which I wouldn't mind seeing collected). Looking back on it, you do see Mr. Philips talent for silent gags.
