Fairly common to see tusks like that in old images. I suppose the ends were removed either for safety or in the aftermath of injuries. Another common old image shows brass balls placed over the ends.
Interesting to see here, as well as in “The Katzenjammer Kids”, the English word “loafer” being used as a generic insult by a German-accented character. From the other characters’ viewpoints, Happy Hooligan may /be/ a “loafer”, but he is not actually loafing in this story. If anything, he’s being a well-intended busybody.
Pete, regarding the Dean Mullaney interview at TCJ, if need be, I will commit to buying two copies of White Boy. Whatever it takes to make this reprint project a Go!

“It’s only the german dwarf having a smoke”. How many times have I heard that one before!

What’s with the elephant’s tusks? Were they removed on purpose? If so, the German dwarf probably had something to do with it!

Very few comics can compare to that brief, brilliant run by Feineger
