Foxy Grandpa

This Sunday page features the recurring con game central to *Foxy Grandpa*: two boys attempt to trick an elderly man, only to have their scheme backfire through a mirror or misdirection. The strip's humor turns on the grandfather's superior cunning and the boys' repeated failure. Rendered in black ink with solid silhouettes for the scheming youths, the strip uses sequential panels and speech balloons to build comic momentum across six frames. The title character became one of the newspaper comics' earliest recurring protagonists, appearing daily and Sunday from 1900 onward. *Foxy Grandpa* helped establish visual conventions—panel borders, word balloons, character consistency—that would define the medium for decades.
