The Yellow Kid - The Katzenjammer Kids - Little Nemo in Slumberland - Bringing Up Father - Krazy Kat - Rube Goldberg’s Inventions - Toonerville Folks - Gasoline Alley - Barney Google - Little Orphan Annie - Popeye - Blondie - Dick Tracy - Alley Oop - Nancy - Flash Gordon - Li'l Abner - Terry and the Pirates - Prince Valiant - Brenda Starr. Toonerville Folks (aka The Toonerville Trolley That Meets All the Trains) was a popular newspaper cartoon feature by Fontaine Fox, which ran from 1908 to 1955. It began in 1908 in the Chicago Post, and by 1913, it was syndicated nationally by the Wheeler Syndicate. From the 1930s on, it was distributed by the McNaught Syndicate. |
