{"product_id":"oh-skin-nay","title":"Oh Skin-nay!","description":"Poetry Verses by Wilbur D. NesbitAfterword by Comics Historian Jeet HeerA grittier and less sentimental predecessor to Norman Rockwell, Clare Briggs exemplified the larger journey of American society from small-town innocence to urbane sophistication. The son of a farm machinery salesman, Briggs left his rural home as a young man to forge a career as an illustrator and cartoonist, earning success in such big-city papers as The Chicago Examiner , the Chicago Tribune , and the New York Tribune . Within a few years, he became one of the most popular and imitated cartoonists in America: Frank King, Milton Caniff, and the first generation of New Yorker cartoonists all emulated Briggs. Eschewing the roughneck humor of early comic strips, Briggs drew low-key strips in two modes: nostalgic reveries focused on memories of small-town boyhood and satirical strips about the squabbles inherent in married life.First published in 1913 by P. F. Volland and Company of Chicago, Oh Skin-Nay! is a collaboration between Briggs and poet Wilbur D. Nesbit and portrays a year in the life of small-town America through the eyes of the twelve-year-old boy―wood gathering, sleigh rides, games of post office, swimming holes, and sandlot ball games.This book is presented as a facsimile edition of double-page spreads containing short poems and full-page cartoons as well as an expanded afterword on Briggs by comics historian Jeet Heer.","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":39924353761361,"sku":"NC1429","price":9.83,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":39924353794129,"sku":"NC1429","price":7.87,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":39924353826897,"sku":"NC1429","price":7.08,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":39924353859665,"sku":"NC1429","price":6.29,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/649705.jpg?v=1717756904","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/oh-skin-nay","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
