Original art of Ding, Lolly, and... Carl Ed's Victor Veribest? (UPDATED 2x)
So a clump (gaggle? flock? murder?) of cartoonists walk into the American Visionary Art Museum's giftshop...

Sure, it sounds like a shaggy dog story, but this past weekend I went to the museum with a group of local cartoonists, and someone opened a flat file drawer in the gift shop, and pulled out a 'Ding' Darling panel.
Scan, with caption cut off
There were 3 of these, which appear to tell the story of a young potato growing up into a crop. Barbara Dale said she and another friend had already bought 2 others on a previous visit. I bought this one.

Finally, there were 3 strips by Carl Ed of 'Harold Teen' fame. These 'Victor Veribest' strips seem like they might just predate 'Harold Teen' that started in 1919, or more probably, be running parallel to it as an advertising strip for an Armour Hour radio show of which I've found mentions of for 1929 and 1933-1935. I'd be glad to hear from anyone with more knowledge about them.
UPDATE: My friend, the crack comics historian Rodrigo Baeza, comes through "I found a sample of the Victor Veribest strip that ran in 1933: https://the-avocado.org/2018/

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "For All Pigkind no.2: To Oligarchy, And Beyond!"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3333
So, Jeff Bezos thinks he can tug at my old Boomer heartstrings by
sending up 90 year-old William Shatner (and his toupee) on Blue
Origin's latest suborbital joyride, while continuing to shit on his
workers and dodge taxes. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has opened new vistas in
whiny excuses for not paying taxes on his obscene wealth by puking up
a bunch of balloon juice about Mars and "the light of consciousness".
Nice try, guys — but, no. Also a big "no" to these guys at the Space
Review trying to spin it as an important insight into the effects of
microgravity on old rich and famous people.
And elsewhere in the Space Review, one of their regulars can't shut up
about the "normalization of space tourism" — for anyone who's so
goddamn rich they have the price of a long weekend at the ISS lying
around under their sofa cushions.
