" Foxy " Degraded

Foxy Grandpa is back in the papers! Newspaper readers of a generation ago remember him well--a lusty old fellow who vied with Buster Brown and the eternal Katzenjammer Kids for Sunday morning popularity by consistently out-practical-joking his two exceedingly active, if somewhat stupid, grandsons. His last appearance as a regular colored comic feature was about 1913. Now he is back--but he is no longer the virile Grandpa that he used to be. Enlisted by the King Features Syndicate, Inc. (Great Britain Rights Reserved), "Foxy" appears--not in comic strips--but in Sunday magazine "feature" stories in company with one " Bobby " (aged about four) and "Bunny" (a dressed-up rabbit, offspring of some bed-time tale). Last Sunday "Foxy's" most exciting exploit was to row a boat--the Sally Ann--around a small lake while Bobby and Bunny rescued two darling little fawns who had been chased into the water by a band of wicked coyotes!
