Illustrated Chips 20th Nov 1915.
What is great about these fun panels is seeing the same setting and characters each week...especially that white bearded man with the pipe!
It really was a make-do and mend place..But what amazing inventions the kids made..
You can also see the poverty of the way they dress and the scruffiness of the place..though they are very cheerful.
Illustrated Chips 28th Feb 1914.
It inspired other artists like Leo Baxendale who did busy pictures like the Banana Bunch...

Albert (not George) Pease only drew Casey Court (not "Casey's") in its later years Peter. Those examples you show are by a different artist. Julius Stafford Baker created the cartoon in 1902, and was succeeded by M.C. Vietch, H. O'Neill, Louis Briault and finally Albert Pease.
Glad you changed the text/title. One thing though; what year are those examples from?
