==Origin== Fox described the inspiration for the cartoon series in an article he wrote for ''The Saturday Evening Post'' titled "A Queer Way to Make a Living" (February 11, 1928, page six): <blockquote>After years of gestation, the idea for the ''Toonerville Trolley'' was born one day up in Westchester County when my wife and I had left New York City to visit [[Charles Voight|Charlie Voight]], the cartoonist, in the [[Pelham, New York|Pelhams]]. At the station, we saw a rattletrap of a streetcar, which had as its crew and skipper a wistful old codger with an [[Airedale Terrier|Airedale beard]]. He showed as much concern in the performance of his job as you might expect from [[SS Leviathan|Captain Hartley when docking the Leviathan]].</blockquote>
