The Teenie Weenies is a comic strip created and illustrated by William Donahey (19 October 1883 – 2 February 1970)[1] that first appeared in 1914 in the Chicago Tribune and ran for over 50 years.[2][3][4] It consisted of normal-size objects intermingled with tiny protagonists.[2] The comic strip characters were two inches tall[2][3] and lived under a rose bush.[4] They lived with "real world" size materials made from discarded objects like hats, jars, barrels, kegs, and boxes – all of which were gigantic to them.[4]
