About the source material:
Father and Son was a generally wordless comic of five or six panels, in which the mustached father and his young son Eric get into and out of various predicaments regarding day-to-day events. The strip appeared from 1934 to 1937 in the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, for a total of 157 episodes.



In the early 1990s, the feature was also transformed into a children's book series by Iranian publisher, 'Vazheh', which included explanations of the cartoons (in Persian) along with the strip on the opposite page.
