Foxy Grandpa

A Sunday comic page featuring *Foxy Grandpa*, one of the earliest newspaper strips to achieve national syndication. The strip's six-panel narrative follows a elderly man and mischievous boys through a series of physical gags, culminating in the grandfather's elaborate revenge—a visual punchline sustained across multiple panels. The page demonstrates the formal conventions emerging in early-1900s comics: sequential panels advancing a continuous story, action drawings that convey motion and slapstick humor, and recurring characters. Supporting text and illustrations fill the remaining space, typical of Sunday newspaper layout. Published in the *St. Louis Republic*, the strip exemplifies how newspapers became the primary vehicle for developing the visual language that would define American comics.
