Talk about late to the party….!!

I just today learned this is the “real name” of the Yellow Kid, a foundational character in the history of American comics. Hadn’t before even occurred to me that he HAD a name!

Before my time (ahem), but I've read a bunch of "Hogan's Alley" over the years and I never noted he was named. Reading now that he was later given a name, not originally. Anyway...

Hmph. "Mickey Dugan"...?
