It was a broad-humored look at the denizens of a trolleycar route as it careened from place to place. It seems dated today, and the humor doesn't quite carry over to modern times, but one can appreciate how popular it was for 40 years, and it is still a pleasantly quaint panel. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The book opens with a selection of cartoons focused on the trolley and the skipper. This is followed by selections of Toonerville cartoons with a focus on various members of the Toonerville community – The Powerful Katrinka, Mickey (Himself) McGuire, The Terrible Tempered Mr. Bang, “Suitcase” Simpson, The Absent Minded Professor, “Skyscraper” Smith, Aunt Eppie Hogg (Fattest Woman in Three Counties), “Tomboy” Taylor, The Little Scorpions, and others.
Fox’s cartoon drawing style is very sparse – he makes every line count – and he leaves the viewer with a sense that they have seen more than has actually been presented on paper. The humor of the cartoons is mild and most of it has aged well. Fox retired and quit drawing his strip in 1955. He died in 1964. Given my interest in trains, the only thing this reviewer wishes is that the book had more of the trolley/skipper cartoon panels and less of the others. I think this book provides a good overview of Fox’s work. ( )
