The Post of the Sappy Skipper
2textual states0Characters
Introduction
This comic piece is embedded in Howard’s April 6, 1925 letter to Tevis Clyde Smith. The legacy note suggests that the recorded title The Post of the Sappy Skipper may be a typo for The Post of the Sappy Slipper, because the piece parodies Sax Rohmer’s The Quest for the Sacred Slipper.
