Happy Hooligan
Happy Hooligan was a popular and influential early American comic strip, the first major strip by the already celebrated cartoonist Frederick Burr Opper. It debuted with a Sunday strip on March 11, 1900 in the William Randolph Hearst newspapers, and was one of the first popular comics with King Features Syndicate.
Characters and story
The strip told the adventures of a well-meaning hobo who encountered a lot of misfortune and bad luck, partly because of his looks and his low position in society, but who did not lose his smile over it. He was contrasted by his two brothers, the sour Gloomy Gus and the snobbish Montmorency, both just as poor as Happy. Montmorency wore a top hat and monocle but was otherwise as ragged as his siblings.
Like the other major comics by Opper, And Her Name Was Maud and Alphonse and Gaston, Happy Hooligan initially did not run on a regular schedule, skipping Sundays from time to time, while some other weeks two pages appeared at once; the character also played a role in some of Opper's daily strips. After a few years, though, Happy Hooligan became a regular feature with both daily strips and Sunday pages.

Hubo alguien
by: siempre asiDe repente te da por volverme a buscar
por hablar de los dos y salir a cenar.
Parece que yo te hice falta además
que no fuiste feliz con tu otra mitad.
De repente te da por volverme a sentir
quien es la que en verdad
sabe hacerte feliz,
pero se te olvidó que al marcharte de aquí
yo quedé igual que tú
libre para elegir.
Y hubo alguien
que se encargó de darme todo cada tarde
que se moría por llenarme de detalles
y palabras amables.
Y hubo alguien
que mientras tú vivías tu vida
mundo aparte
se encargaba de la mía con coraje
y logró conquistarme.
Y ese alguien, una noche de locura interminable
le entregué mi cariño, mi cuerpo, mi alma, mi mente y mi ser
como tú ya lo sabes
como tú ya lo sabes
como tú
como tú ya lo sabes.
