Moon Mullins and his little brother Kayo Folk Art Sculpture from Florida. RPPC
Moon and Kayo cartoon characters Moon Mullins and his little brother Kayo Mullins. Moon is my kind of guy, his name derives from Moonshine…during prohibition. Kayo is his little brother, named after a “K.0.” which is slang for a knockout punch. Tough guys with stogies and plenty of big schemes. They were created by Frank Henry Willard (1893 - 1965) The strip debuts in 1923 and ran for 67 years. An images of the fellas follows here with the real photo postcard from Sun City, Florida. A hand written note atop appears to date the figures to a 1947 trip to the Little Manatee River. I like their shadows too…must have been a sunny day in Sun City.
