A.C. Fera

A.C. Fera was the creator of the comic strip 'Just Boy', that appeared from 1916 on the Sunday pages of William Randolph Hearst's San Francisco Call. The main character, Elmer Tuttle, was a tall boy of about 13, growing up in a semirural community.

Elmer's parents were middle-class types who employed a black maid. Fera treated the subject of American boyhood in the 1910s and 1920s prety well and the comic was soon published in other Hearst publications. After Fera's death in 1925, Doc Winner took over the comic, however under the title 'Elmer'.
