 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Little King
Soglow believed in putting as little as possible between the reader and the humor.
Soglow derived this humor from the character himself, a rich and well-rounded one, a fact made all the more remarkable by the unavailablity of dialog for character development.
Soglow (a professional cartoonist since 1919) was already a frequent New Yorker contributor when, in 1931, some of his cartoons for that venue began featuring his diminutive monarch.

This popular and portly little sovereign didn't talk in his comic strip, but was funny because of the pantomime, and his lackadaisical approach to being a regal monarch.
Cartoonist Otto Soglow was on hand to draw caricatures of visitors to the Rum and Maple booth.

Soglow grew with the former, protected by a wise detachment.
As a regular contributor to the New Masses, he was (in the March issue) allowed to lampoon the staff of that earnest, proletarian monthly as a ridiculous, sour and impoverished quartet, weary of life and thought.
Soglow is a signature frequently seen also in the blithely capitalistic New Yorker.

A beardless variation of the Little King was created for an advertising series in which the diminutive monarch, grown suddenly articulate, dealt didactically with the merits of Standard Oil's Red Crown Super-fuel.
For Borden's Ice Cream Soglow gave the King a son, the Crown Prince of Ice-Creamia, an amusing little moppet who behaved much like his father.
For Brooklyn's Abraham & Straus department store Soglow drew a Queen who strangely exercised her royal prerogatives by appearing publicly in a state of undress.

 GAC Forums - Betty Boop with Henry
Although a series never came form this appearance, the animation was superior to what was done in the van Beuren series a few years before.
Van Beuren's series on The Little KIng was far more faithful to Soglow's comic strip(even to the point of copying Soglow's drawing style) than Fleischer's one-shot disaster ever was.
Otto Soglow himself wasn't to keen on having his creation adapted to the silver screen.

All over the U.S.A., mostly in small communities, there are obscure laws (often quite ridiculous laws, or outdated legislations) which have never been repealed, and which remain legally in effect.
Back in 1936, author Dick Hyman and cartoonist Otto Soglow had a popular feature in *American Magazine* titled "It's the Law", in which Hyman described a (genuine) ludicrous law that was still on the books, and Soglow drew an appropriate illustration.
For instance, in North Dakota it's illegal to shoot rabbits from the rear platform of a streetcar.

 Foozleland
The one strip of this nature that spurred me to write this web page is the one that always followed Otto Soglow's Little King.
If I remember this aspect correctly, the strip was a silent strip; i.e., no dialogue balloons, in the style of Little King, where the gag was strictly a visual perception.
However, in researching Otto Soglow, the New York born cartoonist, I could not find anything attributed to him that sounded like what I'm looking for.

approximately $300.00 followed by George McManus at $200.00 to $250.00 and Otto Soglow at $100.00.
Autographs of Jay Irving and Elmer Woggon are less valuable because their cartoon characters were not as popular and the value would be in the $20.00 to $50.00 range each.

With the popularity of Betty Boop at a peak in 1932, brothers Max and Dave Fleischer decided to introduce a new film series which would include another character to grow into a star.

Perhaps some of you remember that silent, squat, red-robed little monarch.
