Foxy Grandpa and His Boys. Fun on the Farm, Foxy Grandpa Sparklets Series:

Carl Schultze, writing and drawing as "Bunny," launched this single-issue comic in 1908 from M. A. Donohue & Co., collecting the popular newspaper strip antics of the mischievous, cane-wielding Foxy Grandpa and his two rambunctious grandsons. Set on a farm, the book delivers a series of lighthearted, gag-driven episodes where the elderly prankster always outwits the boys with a twinkle in his eye. While brief, this issue stands as an early example of a newspaper comic strip being repackaged for the burgeoning comic book format, preserving the gentle, turn-of-the-century humor that made Foxy Grandpa a beloved character in American funny pages.
