My readthrough of Fontaine Fox's Toonerville cartoons brought me to 1921 and an odd bit of branching out: The Goose Crick Steamboat auditioning for the cavalcade of comedy public transport.
Historical spoiler: the Toonerville stamp only had a trolley. At some point, the steamboat got dry-docked.

Something struck me in an odd place about this one. It's almost like #TomboyTaylor isn't even angry at the kid, just deeply disappointed.
