Crosby was best known for his long-running comic strip Skippy. By the late 1930s the cartoonist/author's political and philosophical leanings had worked their way into the Skippy comics and he wrote scathing editorials against Roosevelt policies though he had earlier voted for him. Alcoholism and tax problems began to destroy his personal life and he spent his last 16 years institutionalized. Crosby has much to say about Roosevelt. Freedom Press Paperback

1936Best.-Nr. 1497New York: New York Labor News Company 1936. First Edition. 12mo 7 1/4 x 5 inches; 183 x 126 mm 40 pages in stapled wrappers. A spirited -- rollicking even! -- essay with attacks on "fakers" "impostors" "swindlers" and other enemies of the working class. May Day is the true holiday of the proletariat the author says while Labor Day in the U.S. is fake because it "sticks to the hollow pretense of a brotherhood between capital and labor." Issued by the radical Socialist Labor Party the pamphlet argues that American labor leaders have eagerly embraced the capitalist class. "The 'labor' leaders travel through the country in the grandest style stop at the 'swellest' hotels--often as not manned with non-union labor. Where they go liquor flows expensively and plentifully--sometimes swinishly." page 30 The author Olive M. Johnson 1872-1954 was a longtime activist editor and pamphleteer for the Socialist Labor Party. This pamphlet is peak agit-prop. SCARCE. CONDITION: Light soling and creasing to wrappers. Pages clean and unmarked. A Very Good or better copy. New York Labor News Company unknown
1952Best.-Nr. 2001West Haven Connecticut: Foundation for Promoting Enduring Peace 1952. No Edition Stated. Single sheet folded to create 4 pages each measuring 11 x 8 1/2 inches 279 x 216 mm. Rare leaflet on U.S.-Soviet relations from a Christian Left perspective. The author pleads for better understanding of Russian history arguing that the country has made great strides since the October Revolution. He also says the Soviets feel encircled by hostile forces pointing to Western military bases along the country's perimeters. The format of this leaflet is a bit odd: the first three pages are professionally printed while the last page appears to be mimeographed.

OCLC shows no institutional holdings although a separate search turns up a copy in the Kringlock Pamphlet Collection of the University of Iowa. Nor were there any copies in commerce as of January 2021. RARE. CONDITION: Some toning along edges general handling wear two horizontal folds perhaps for mailing. A Very Good copy.
