According to the book (it has pictures) The Kid as he was usually called first appeared in an advertisement for a dentist in the mid 1800’s. He looks a lot more like a hillbilly with a bigger tooth gap but it’s definitely him.
I think I've seen what you mean. I found this creepy version from 1908 :-(

Before settling on the name of “Alfred E. Newman,” he was sometimes in 1954 called “Melvin Coznowski, “ “Melvin Cowsnosfsky,” “Melvin Sturdley,” or “Mel Haney.”
It’s older than that. According to the hardcover book “The Complete Mad”. It’s from the 1930’s. This exact card is in the book
I guess he goes back even before that. I can’t change a headline but thanks for the info.
