<p>[QUOTE="cplradar, post: 6307446, member: 108985"]I was reading the 1931 reprint of Gasoline Alley, called "Walt and Skeezix" and through out the whole year of 1931 the strip had the young male protagonist, Skeexiz, and his club of young men from the neighborhood called "The Rangers", collecting, of all things, Postage Marks from letters. They covered geography from all across the US and the world, as an on going story for months. People from all over the US would send "Skeezix" postage marks (to the artist Frank King) and he would update every small town post office. <a href="https://drawnandquarterly.com/author/frank-king" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://drawnandquarterly.com/author/frank-king" rel="nofollow">https://drawnandquarterly.com/author/frank-king</a>.
