This is not a comic. It's not even a sequential series of images, like a Hogarthian progress, or even illustrations of a novel.
But it can be seen as a milestone in comics history, because of the influence on Rodolphe <b>Toepffer</b>, who imitated the <b>type of main character</b>, the <b>drawing style</b> and the general <b>atmosphere of countryfied wackyness</b>.
The use and re-use of one striking visual character, generally recognized and popular, is certainly typical of many comics to come.

These comics/picture stories are from 'chapbooks'.
Chapbooks were small booklets of four, (or multiples of four: 8, 12,...) pages, sold by itinerant merchants or chapmen (Old English: ceapman from 'ceap' - bargaining, trade) from circa 1500-1850. They were illustrated with woodcuts and had stories of popular heroes, folklore, famous crimes, ballads, nursery rhymes, schooltexts (ABCs), bible tales, etc, and were the main literature beside the bible for the common man and children.
<br>
Sometimes they were sold as sheets which had to be cut up and bound, DIY-fashion.
<br>
Most chapbooks did not contain comics (=picture stories), but from <b>circa 1800</b> many did. Enough to constitute a genuine and influential tradition.
<br>
Some of the examples below are from American editions. I'm not sure if these were reprints, copies or original.

These English picture stories for children may have inspired German manufacturers of popular prints, (the so-called 'Bilderbogen') <b>to include picture stories</b> in their programm. The earliest Bilderbogen featuring comics seem to be from 1835, including the following example of a German copy of Branston's version of Mother Hubbard.
<br>
<br>
What makes this so interesting is the fact that these <b>Neuruppiner Bilderbogen</b> (sold in vast numbers) inspired the creation of <b>Munich Bilderbogen</b> around 1848, which become the stomping ground for the <b>slapstick comics by Wilhelm Busch</b>, who in turn became the starting point of <b>American sequential comics</b>, the Katzenjammer Kids. <br>
<br>
There seems to be a <b>direct line of influence</b> from British children's comics 1800-1840, via German Bilderbogen 1835-1890, to US newspaper comics (from 1895) where modern comics as we know them were finally established.

He did continue with his narrative, but less experimental, more illustrative, and published the work as a large book in 1854. The sequences here are pure 'comics', but most of the book is not, although it is sequential, and despite Kunzle's reservations, one could regard it as the first graphic novel in English. (Not counting translations of T&ouml;pffer).Long narrative comics sequences in English only really started with Winsor McCay's 'Little Nemo' in 1906, half a century later (L.N. started in 1905, but at first it was just separate episodes). The type of long story that T&ouml;pffer and Busch came up with, both funny and thoughful at the same time, still is very rare today, in any language.
