Does anyone know where I could possibly see the newspapers published during the 1899 newsboy strike?

If you just want to read the newspapers, cityhallpark1899.com has a pretty comprehensive collection. If you'd like to actually see these articles as they appeared in the papers, the Library of Congress's Chronicaling America is an excellent place to start!

a super specific poll for you

you wanted to be an artist growing up

you can sleep on any surface, hard or soft

your partner makes more money than you

you believe a cowboy would win in a fight over an astronaut or wizard

most of your friends are the same gender

you hate your boss but hate capitalism more

you are involved in a pyramid scheme

you don’t like to talk about your parents

you prefer the country over cities

you didn’t realize this was about jack kelly until the end

i didn’t study or pursue journalism at all in school but now i’m a staff writer at one of the largest LGBTQ+ publications in the world and sometimes i think about how into newsies i was back in the day and i just go. yeah there really is no escaping this pal, it’s inevitable

Hey, I do love it when you post bc it's often super funny or just cool ideas but pls do not feel pressured in posting more

this started as like. the big newsies incorrect quotes blog and over the years slowly devolved to shitposts and memes

but in all seriousness i appreciate that! i need ideas to post first and foremost so i’ve always just kinda done whatever i felt like

[spreadingthenewsies]

Yay, glad you liked it! Your theory is worthy of ALL the animatics. -Animatic anon

[spreadingthenewsies]

Hey, I wrote you about the older sibling dating spot colon thing. It's literally the reason I stop by you blog from time to time to see if something has happened with the idea. I just saw the animatic and it was amazing

the artist really did a wonderful job!!!
