From January until November 1903, McCay drew an ongoing proto-comic strip for the "Enquirer" based on poems written by George Randolph Chester called "A Tale of the Jungle Imps by Felix Fiddle". Before the last two installments appeared in print, McCay had moved to New York City to work for James Gordon Bennett, Jr.'s "New York Herald", at first doing illustrations and editorial cartoons. He worked alongside comic strip pioneer Richard F. Outcault, who was doing the "Buster Brown" strip at the "Herald". A rivalry built up between the two cartoonists which resulted in Outcault leaving the "Herald" to return to his previous employer, William Randolph Hearst at "The New York Journal".
