It was from a short-lived series published by Reston Publications, in 1955, first titled Little Groucho, and quickly changed to Little Grouchy, after the first issue, because Groucho Marxs people noticed it, and had a problem with their using the name, Groucho, as Marx was the only one in The World using it, and thus, people might think it is about him as a child. The remaining single issue of Little Grouchy didnt sell very well, and the series stopped. I dont think it came from a newspaper strip, but it seems to have that type of visual style, and tempo, as well. It was just another Dennis The Menace clone.
