Hello, Allan---LITTLE JOHNNY AND THE TEDDY BEARS originally was the feature on the back page of Judge magazine. In 1909 Judge launched their own short-lived comic syndicate,reprinting their old strips, mostly with recurring characters like James Montgomery Flagg's NERVY NAT and C.W. Kahles' THE YARNS OF CAPTAIN FIBB. Bray was there again, only with a new feature, LITTLE JOHNNY AND THE TAFFY POSSUMS. ("Billy Possum" was the long-forgotton William Howard Taft equivillant of the Theodore Roosevelt "Teddy Bear") It looks like Judge only syndicated four half-page strips a week.---Cole Johnson.
