Alec the Great was a syndicated newspaper comic strip 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
From the 1930s into the 1960s, Dumm drew Alec the Great, in which she illustrated verses written by her brother, Robert Dennis Dumm, about the little 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 noted 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.
