It was the art, life and times of the great mobile inventor Alexander Calder which led to the creation of this comic strip panel. When Calder was a young man in his early twenties, he worked as a mechanic aboard the H.F. Alexander. When it docked in San Francisco, Calder made his way up to Aberdeen, Washington, to visit his sister, who lived with Kenneth Hayes, her husband. There, Alexander "Sandy" Calder took a job at a logging camp, working as a timekeeper. Scenically inspirational, the mountain beckoned his artistic impression, and so he wrote home to request paints and brushes. It was not long before Calder made the decision to uproot himself once more, heading again to New York to chase his dream of being a career artist. In New York, Calder signed up to the Art Students' League, briefly learning with John Sloan, Thomas Hart Benton, Kenneth Hayes Miller and George Luks. In his time as a student, Calder labored at the National Police Gazette. In 1925, one of his Gazette assignments was to sketch the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. It was then that his fascination with the circus began, and thus in his later artwork the theme would appear again.
