You've met Tweedledum, Tweedledee and the Other Triplet, but are you familiar with Freddie, Eddie and Teddie? They're the merry mischief makers of Hy Leonard's The Triplet Boys! This strip definitely has a look of its own; were it not for the fact that this was produced in 1905, I'd almost be willing to guess the triplets were based on muppets. Just look at those heads! While Tweedledum and Co. get their kicks hiding from strangers the fact that they are a trio of look-a-likes, Freddie, Eddie and Teddie take the opposite approach by simply tormenting their loved ones en masse. The gags are a bit forced, sure, but the odd visuals are not to be missed.
