The Crickets Aboriginale. “By our own Gandin.”Source: Fun (5 April 1876): 148. Courtesy of the Suzy Covey Comic Book Collection in the George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida. [Click on image to enlarge it.] The fictional author is a Frenchman, Grandin, who writes in very broken English and confuses cricket at Lords with Dickens’s Cricket on the Hearth — yet another example of the illustrations in Fun far surpassing the text that accompanies them. — George P. Landow]
