Produced by two generations of the Alley family, the one-panel cartoon originated with the Memphis, Tennessee, newspaper ''The Commercial Appeal'', where it ran on the front page.

Publication history ''Hambone's Meditations'' was created by J.P. Alley, the first editorial cartoonist of ''The Commercial Appeal''. The character of Hambone was inspired by Alley's encounter with a philosophical former slave, Tom Hunley of Greenwood, Mississippi. Hunley told a Works Progress Administration interviewer how he met J. P. Alley: The strip and character were popular enough that Hambone's image was used on a variety of products, including sweets and cigars, in the 1920s an ...
