(Dachshund) by Joseph Randolph Bray 16 episodes from 1912 Comics on the back: 10 x 'Bob, He's always to blame', 6 x 'Lena undt Lou tooks a trip' J.R. Bray was a U.S. animated film director and producer. During the 1910s and 1920s, he was a pioneer in animation. While fairly obscure today, he still holds historical importance as one of the first people to establish an animation studio, J.R. Bray Productions, and use a factory model to employ it. His signature character, 'Colonel Heeza Liar' (1913-1924), was the second animated character in history around whom a recurring series was created and the first to inspire a comic strip spin-off. The Bray studios additionally pioneered background printing, cel animation and a first attempt at color animation. Early life and comics career Joseph Randolph Bray was born in 1879 in Addison, Michigan, as the son of a local clergyman. He studied at Alma College in Michigan between 1895 and 1896, but wanted to be a cartoonist instead. In 1901, he debuted at the Detroit Evening News. Between 1903 and 1904, he contributed cartoons to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, followed by work for Life, Puck, Judge, Harper's and the McClure Newspaper Syndicate. Some of his work was published in European humorous magazines as well. His comic strip, 'The Quality Kid' (June-September 1913), was obviously inspired by Richard F. Outcault's child characters 'The Yellow Kid' and 'Buster Brown'. For Judge magazine, Bray drew the series 'Little Johnny and the Teddy Bears' (1907-1909), inspired by the stop-motion sequence in Edwin S. Porter's live-action film 'The Teddy Bears' (1903-1910). Writers for the feature were Robert D. Towne (1907-1908) and Constance Johnson (1908-1909), and in 1909 a landscape format-shaped booklet was published by Reilly & Britton in Chicago. The strip was revived as 'Little Johnny And The Taffy Possums' for a couple of months in 1909. Among Bray's other comic series were 'Stubby Penn The Reporter' (1905), 'Singing Sammy' (1907), 'Stuttering Sammy' (A.K.A. 'Singing Sammy', 1906-1907), 'Mr. O.U. Absentminded' (1909-1911), 'Mister Monk' (a.k.a. 'Mister Simian', 1912) and 'Die Dackels' (A.K.A.. 'You Gotta Quit Kickin' Dogs Around' or 'You Gotta Quit Kickin' us Dogs Around', 1912), all distributed by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
