This is certainly a good way to engage readers of all ages. It kind of looks like these were collected together into a book. Is it possible they were orginally serial newspaper cartoons?

Yes, they also were later printed into a book. They have also been reprinted, but my luck with quality reprints hasn't been good when it comes to books with lots of pictures and illustrations.

You can probably find an old original copy for around $20, but the paper is usually of poorer quality.

McClure Syndicate was the first American newspaper syndicate according to Wikipedia
