Additional Information

Foxy Grandpa was a popular comic strip by cartoonist Carl E. Schultze (May 25, 1866 – January 18, 1939). Schultze drew his comics under the pseudonym Bunny, his childhood nickname, usually accompanied by a drawing of a rabbit. Foxy Grandpa was one of the earliest popular newspaper comic strips, which later became a stage play.
