Another Colored Cut-Out Toy for Boys and Girls: Steve in His Studio

This newspaper supplement presents a die-cut paper doll craft featuring Steve, a character shown in his artist's studio. The page combines instruction and entertainment through labeled assembly diagrams—a common format in early twentieth-century Sunday comics sections. Readers would cut and fold the pieces to construct a three-dimensional figure, complete with articulated limbs and removable props like a cane. The back-view diagram demonstrates assembly technique. Such interactive crafts extended the newspaper comic strip beyond static images, engaging children in tactile play while reinforcing the medium's pedagogical reach. This hybrid form—part comic, part toy, part instruction manual—exemplifies how newspapers deployed comics to drive circulation and create extended engagement with brands and characters.
