TV Tropes: “Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Cliché stock phrase from the 1890s through the 1940s used to denote breaking news! Sometimes uses “extry” or “wuxtry” to denote a New England accent! Often shouted by overzealous newsies and paperboys! A Dead Horse Trope nowadays owing to television and the internet! Related to Spinning Paper! Extra! Extra! “

Hi Mike – love that word … great find: sad it’s so out of date – but that’s life. Fantastic wood print – what an amazing find to post for us ..
Cheers Hilary
Thanks. I want to try to remember to continue with something every week for “Art on Sunday.”
I’ve not kept up with my blogging like I would like to as I was back to working full time for 18 months. Now I am getting back up to speed with it as well as projects around here and getting ready for a camping trip out west.
