The Teenie Weenies in the Wildwood

"The Teenie Weenies in the Wildwood" by William Donahey is an early 20th-century children’s story about tiny people who demonstrate courage and camaraderie. When the fashionable Lady and a Poet are snatched by wild Saboes, the other pint-sized heroes band together to save them. United, the General organizes a miniature army and inspires friends to brace themselves for a journey into the wild, readying them for the escapades that follow.

The Teenie Weenies is a comic strip created and illustrated by William Donahey that first appeared in 1914 in the Chicago Tribune and ran for over 50 years. It consisted of normal-size objects intermingled with tiny protagonists. The comic strip characters were two inches tall and lived under a rose bush. 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.
