VT Snick Hamlin Room

Room Description - View 360 Degree Tour
Years ago, the Perry Daily Chief hired a local kid, Snick Hamlin, who liked to draw. He created a cartoon strip, "Alley Oop," that captured the heart of our nation. This room honors him.

In the room you'll find items relating to Hamlin's life in Perry framed and hung on the walls. In addition to these items you'll also see a large version of Dinny the Dinosaur painted on the wall courtesy of Perry artist Betsy Peterson. The room features two queen beds and the bedspreads for each were actually taken from a bedspread originally featured in the Alley Oop comic book. Finally you'll find photos of Hamlin on the walls and pages of the Perry High School Year featuring this famous Midwestern cartoonist.
