the end of 1927 — as well as the start of an extensive, ongoing biography of Percy Crosby by

the cartoonist's daughter, Joan Crosby Tibbetts.

later through King Features Syndicate. Creator Crosby retained the copyright, a rarity for
comic strip artists of the time.
• Known as the "All American Boy", Skippy appeared in hundreds of newspapers worldwide,
and his readers numbered in the millions.
• Skippy was the subject of a 1929 novel, a radio show, as well as a 1931 feature film starring
Jackie Cooper which won director Norman Taurog the Academy Award for Best Director
and boosted the career of young star Jackie Cooper.
