The Press: Foxy Degraded

Foxy Grandpa is back in the papers! Newspaper readers of a generation ago remember him well—a lusty old fellow who vied with Buster Brown and the eternal Katzenjammer Kids for Sunday morning popularity by consistently out-practical-joking his two exceedingly active, if somewhat stupid, grandsons. His last appearance as a regular colored comic feature was about 1913. Now he is back—but he is no longer the virile Grandpa that he used to be. Enlisted by the King Features Syndicate, Inc. (Great Britain Rights Reserved), “Foxy” appears—not in comic strips—but in Sunday magazine “feature” stories in company with one ” Bobby ” (aged about four) and “Bunny” (a dressed-up rabbit, offspring of some bed-time tale). Last Sunday “Foxy’s” most exciting exploit was to row a boat—the Sally Ann—around a small lake while Bobby and Bunny rescued two darling little fawns who had been chased into the water by a band of wicked coyotes!
