ABOUT OSGAR UND ADOLF Osgar und Adolf, a bumbling German duo, started out in the panel-plus-story feature "A Little Bit of Vaudeville." Before landing their own comic strip, they starred in various other newspaper features, such as an interview column where the cartoon duo would interview noteable people of the day. They always spoke in a thick German dialect and Osgar, the tall, lanky member of the pair, was forever "pulling one over" on Adolf. The strip grows quite entertaining as it progresses, as A. D. Condo, the cartoonist, and Fred Schaefer, who supplied the dialogue for the Osgar und Adolf strip, introduced many of Condo's other characters into the Osgar und Adolf strip. Mr. Skygack from Mars, star of his own panel, frequently visited the boys. Osgar liked Mr. Skygack, but Adolf, on the other hand, always ended a strip which featured Mr. Skygack by yelling, "I hate dot fellow!" Other Condo characters who appeared with Osgar und Adolf were Everett True, Diana Dillpickles (from the "Diana's Diary" feature) and Inquisitive Edmund.
