Re: Sunday Comics - Artist Alfred Andriola's "Charlie Chan Notebook"?
Dear Lou,
As the aphorisms that appear in the "Charlie Chan Notebook" featurette in the Charlie Chan Sunday comics by artist Alfred Andriola and apparently nowhere else, these sayings/statements were most certainly created especially for these newspaper comics by the artist himself. It is possible, of course, that the artist was at least in part influenced by material from the Biggers stories, but creating his own different and original versions in the process. Perhaps friends or even readers might have offered "suggestions" to the artist! In any case, I find that they all seem to have that ring of authenticity, adding to the feel of the strip!
