Fontaine Talbot Fox, Jr.
(June 4, 1884 – August 9, 1964) was an American cartoonist and illustrator best known for writing and illustrating his Toonerville Folks comic panel, which ran from 1913 to 1955 in 250 to 300 newspapers across North America. The cartoons are set in the small town of Toonerville, which appears to operate in its own little universe.
The gentle humor of the feature dealt with the antics of the various denizens and featured semi-realistic situations.
It was one of the most popular comics during the World War I era.
