The Strange & Wonderful Adventures of Bachelor Butterfly

A whimsical oddity from the dawn of American comics, this single 1870 issue from publisher Garrett, Dick & Fitzgerald presents the lighthearted, surreal misadventures of a dapper butterfly bachelor. Its creator's name has been lost to time, but the story's playful tone and proto-comic-strip layout mark it as a charming, early example of the medium's potential for gentle, absurdist humor.
