Foxy Grandpa: A Champion Dart Thrower

This Sunday newspaper strip features *Foxy Grandpa*, a recurring character known for outwitting younger antagonists through cunning rather than strength. The top panel establishes a crowded political scene on Ararat, while the six-panel sequence below depicts the central gag: Grandpa's unexpected skill at darts silences his doubters. The strip demonstrates the formal grammar emerging in early 1900s newspaper comics—sequential panels with speech balloons, sight gags dependent on visual progression, and a protagonist whose personality drives the action. *Foxy Grandpa* strips ran widely in American newspapers, establishing the Sunday comic page as a staple of mass circulation dailies and shaping conventions that would define the medium.
