That Little Game was a classic slice-of-life newspaper comic from the 1920s. Bert Link's artistry is often overlooked in comic history, but his ability to detail both figure and personality still entertains with poignant and mischievous humor. Link took the traditional comic panel to new heights even while specializing in one subject—the foibles of poker players. The card game is the background for wit and good-natured sparring with friends and spouses. That a daily comic could run for a decade, and still entertain today, is a tribute to a fine comic artist.
