Fontaine Fox's Toonerville Trolley

Fontaine Fox was one of the most popular American cartoonists of the 20th Century. For more than 40 years his Toonerville Trolley cartoons were syndicated across the country. Dealing with everyday things and ordinary people, they recorded an era. They did so with broad humor and with a marvelous cast of characters who became household names. The most celebrated was the careening Trolley itself, with its Skipper. There were also the Powerful Katrinka; the Terrible Tempered Mr. Bang; Mickey (himself) McGuire; Taeny Tomkins, the World's Smallest Football Player; and many more
