Charles C. Thompson published this comic book in two formats between 1909 and 1917. Each book has fourteen one sided pages of comics not including the title page. The blue backed book has black lettering on the title page whereas the red backed book has some red lettering on the title page.

The earlier Thompson and Thomas comics have black lettering whereas the later Stanton and Van Vliet have red lettering. It is presumed (but not certain) that the earlier Charles C. Thompson Co. comic is the one with the black lettering on the title page.
