Synopsis
Korkis talks about Robert Sidney Smith, the creator of Sherlock Holmes Jr. giving a brief biography of his early life and career. Then he covers when, in 1922, Smith became the first cartoonist getting a 10-year one million dollar contract ($100,00 per year) for his work on The Gumps with the Chicago Tribune along with the gift of a new Rolls Royce automobile and an oriental rug for his office. Korkis mentions that Sherlock Holmes Jr. was a footnote in Smith's career and that he died in an automobile accident on October 20, 1935.
