The Kin-Der-Kids was a full-color Sunday comics feature created in 1906 for the Chicago Sunday Tribune by German-American Expressionist Lyonel Feininger. As per the premise, three boys – academic Daniel Webster, muscular Strenuous Teddy, and the voracious Pie-Mouth – have adventures sailing around the world in a bathtub, all while trying to outrun their overbearing Aunt Jim-Jam and Cousin Gussie, who are intent on feeding them castor oil. Despite only running for less than a year, leaving many plot points unresolved and characters underdeveloped or yet to be introduced, the strip has been met with acclaim by comic art historians.
May 27-June 3, 1906
Fat-Mouth gorges himself to immobility on the provisions of a sailing ship when the Kin-Der-Kids try to sell off the whale they've harpooned. His fat later comes in handy when he falls overboard during a sudden storm, with the grease slick he creates acting like "oil on troubled waters" and saving them from capsizing.
November 18, 1906
In the final published strip, Fat-Mouth is force-fed Dr. Dopeski's experimental health cure.
