The Adventures of Foxy Grandpa

Descripción

A scarce copy of this comic strip by the renowned American newspaper cartoonist Carl E. Schultze, or, as he is best known, 'Bunny'. This work features Schultze's most popular character, 'Foxy Grandpa', who made his first appearance in 1900 in a gag-a-day newspaper comic strip. The strip revolved around the eponymous Foxy Grandpa, and his two mischievous grandsons Chub and Buntm, with the humour deriving from the two grandsons constantly trying to trick Foxy Grandpa. However, he always managed to get the better of the two boys; combining brains with a perverse sense of humor, and a great deal of acrobatic skill, to outmaneuver their tricks. This copy has been dated using the copyright information to the first page of text: 'Copyright, 1902, by L. R. Hammersly Co, Copyright, 1905, by M. A. Donohue and Co.' In the publisher's original binding, with green cloth spine and illustrated card boards. Externally, generally smart with bumping to extremities and head and tail of spine. Cloth to head and tail of joints partially split and worn. The odd mark and creasing to boards. Internally firmly bound. Pages age toned but bright and clean throughout. Prior owner's ink inscription to first page of text. Very Good.
