GoComics is delighted to re-introduce "Skippy." The legendary comic created by Percy Crosby debuted in 1923 and ran in newspapers until 1945.
Hailed by critics, fellow cartoonists and readers as a "classic," it's easy to see how "Skippy" inspired comics like "Peanuts" and "Calvin and Hobbes." We hope you enjoy this glimpse back in time with one of the most-beloved characters of the mid-20th Century.

Actually, it’s a dog biscuit, which would be somewhat heavier, but I wouldn’t have expected it to have quite that much heft, unless that was how they made them back then.

@Cor Blymie
I realize it was a dog biscuit. I was making a joke. If you ever see any of the hard tack at a reenactment you would understand. During the Civil War, soldiers broke their teeth on the hard tack.
