The Untimely End of Daddy, 1882
Above, The Untimely End of Daddy, an 1882 set of Victorian trading cards which together form a short comic strip story. These cards were sold to various merchants, who would print their own advertisements on the back of the cards, then give them away to customers, who, wanting the entire story, would hopefully come back to purchase more merchandise, and get more cards.
Happy Father’s Day!
