Fair use for F. O. Alexander
Though this scanned or digitally photographed image is subject to copyright by the publisher (or has lapsed into public domain), its use here is regardless covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
 * 1) It representatively illustrates an educational article about a once widely-appreciated comic strip artist of the past; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding the text because it is a historical sample of the art and story that the subject of the article produced at a time and for a work covered in the critical commentary. Therefore the image substantially improves the educational value of the article.
 * 2) The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, which directly concerns a visual artist and his art.
 * 3)  It is of much lower resolution than the original, and only a small (less than 25%) portion of one daily strip. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality unsuitable for any commercial purpose. The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder, and such use does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
 * 4) If copyrighted, it is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the article subject, because the whole body of work under discussion would have similarly copyright status.
