The Little King

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Little King is the name of a comic strip created by Otto Soglow in The New Yorker, which later became a syndicated strip. It is notable for having virtually no dialogue; the title character never speaks.

The Little King first appeared in 1931 in 'The New Yorker' and became a syndicated newspaper strip for King Features Syndicate when Soglow's contract with 'The New Yorker' expired in 1934. The newspaper strip ran from 1934 to Soglow's death in 1975. 'The Little King' also appeared in comic books and a series of animated cartoons by Van Beuren Studios (1933-34).

Soglow was awarded the National Cartoonist Society Reuben Award for 1966 for the strip.
