As he later affirmed in letters, newspaper and magazine interviews, and conversations, Fontaine Fox was inspired by his ride on the Pelham Manor trolley line to create the "Toonerville Trolley" and its bearded "Skipper," a central tenet of his wildly-successful comic strip "Toonerville Folks" that he syndicated and that ran in hundreds of newspapers throughout the United States for fifty years.
