Buster Brown, His Dog Tige, their Troubles

Bb1

Buster Brown, the creation of cartoonist Richard F. Outcault (also of Yellow Kid fame), is familiar to millions of American as a brand of children's shoes.  What is less well known is the character's origins as a popular early-20th Century newspaper cartoon.  Here is a pdf (6MB) of a selection of Buster Brown cartoons published in book format, courtesy of the ever-bountiful collection of scanned childrens books at the Universitat Braunschweig.
