While we’re celebrating the early days of the comic strip, we thought we’d
take a look at another artist who, along with F.M. Howarth, was a pioneer in the
medium. But, unlike Howarth, whose career unfortunately ended entirely too soon,
Jimmy Swinnerton spent decade after decade working in (and revolutionizing) the
world of the comic strip. And with a life that spanned nearly an entire century,
Jimmy was a true forefather of the industry who made an indelible mark not only
on comics, but also on fine art with his Western-style oil paintings and
breathtaking landscapes.

It all began back in 1892, when Jimmy started
working with the Hearst paper The San Francisco Examiner at the tender
age of sixteen. A very good friend of William Randolph himself, Jimmy was a
classic example of being in exactly the right place at the right time – and he
found the perfect opportunity to harness his talents in the increasingly popular
world of newspaper comic strips. He almost immediately made a name for himself
with his Little Bears, which began as an illustration of
one lone cub who accompanied news stories and weather reports. The feature soon
grew to encompass a whole cast of lovable, commenting bears, whose popularity
soon garnered them their own feature – which many deem the first series of
American newspaper strips to feature ongoing characters. Of course, Swinnerton
didn’t stop with bears. He also drew little children, or Tykes, to hang
out with the bears. Hence, the birth of the strip Little Bears and Tykes
– which caused another sensation with both adults and “tykes” alike.

Within a few years, Swinnerton had become the Examiner‘s
political cartoonist as well, and in 1899, he moved to New York where he created
still more comics: Mount Ararat, The Little Tigers (which
later became Mr. Jack), and his own favorite, 1904’s Little
Jimmy. Called simply Jimmy in the beginning, Little Jimmy
featured the adventures of an absolutely darling little boy of about 5 years
old, with huge saucer-like eyeballs and an air of irresistible innocence and
curiosity – an innocence and curiosity that always seemed to land him in some
sort of dilemma.

Little Jimmy‘s popularity soared, and, like so
many of “Swin’s” works, was refreshingly different from any other
strip of the day. It was so breezily drawn and full of a warm humor that was
always understated but never dull. It was a formula that worked – save for a
four-year hiatus from 1941-1945, Little Jimmy remained steady in the
papers until Swinnerton’s retirement in 1958.

Just two years after
Little Jimmy debuted, however, Swinnerton was diagnosed with tuberculosis
– and his prospects were grim. Doctors told him he had only one month to live,
and his pal Hearst didn’t want to take any chances. He immediately sent him to
recuperate in the warm sunshine of Southern California, in a move that sparked a
lifelong love affair Swin would have with the Southwest. His marriages came and
went (there were four in all), but his love for the desert was undying. In both
California and Arizona, Jimmy found a whole new outlet for his creativity, and
even when he was living elsewhere, he always found time to return to the desert.
The Southwest even inspired the creation of Canyon Kiddies – a strip
centered around the adventures of a group of Hopi Indian children living and
playing around the Grand Canyon. It also provided the subject for Swin’s other
artistic passion – oil paintings. His landscapes of endless skies, rosy sunsets
and Western images found him a whole new type of following, and today, many of
these paintings hang in museums throughout the country and sometimes appear at
auction – where they can sell for some impressive figures.

It is a great
tragedy that someone who was so influential in so many ways over such an
extraordinary period of time is now, outside of collecting circles, largely
forgotten. But by seeking out some of his works and by spreading the word about
his extraordinary career, we can all help keep the legacy of Jimmy Swinnerton
alive for generations to come.

While we’re celebrating the early days of the comic strip, we thought we’d
