"The Day After 'The Glorious Fourth' Down in Hogan's Alley."

Outcault, R. F. "The Day After 'The Glorious Fourth' Down in Hogan's Alley." Hogan's Alley. New York World 7 July 1895. R. F. Outcault’s The Yellow Kid: A Centennial Celebration of the Kid Who Started the Comics. Northampton, Mass.: Kitchen Sink Press, 1995. Plate 4.

Note that below July 4 is shown more gleefully, although we see enough havok to cause the injuries such as those in the cartoon above. The depiction of a fire in the tenement in particular strikes close to home.
