The Hyperion Library of Classic American Comic Strips. Napoleon was a popular syndicated newspaper comic strip created b Clifford McBride, which launched on June 6, 1932. Over a span of 29 years it was distributed to both American and foreign newspapers. By the mid-1940s, the strip was carried by 80 newspapers.

McBride began Napoleon as a daily strip on June 6, 1932, for a minor syndicate called Lafave Newspaper Features. His Sunday strip was added on March 12, 1933, and the following year, the title was changed to Napoleon and Uncle Elby.

While drawing such features as McBride's Cartoon (1927) and Clifford McBride's Pantomime Comic (1932), McBride introduced Elby, a character based on his uncle, Wisconsin lumberman Henry Elba Eastman. He soon began to add situations involving Elby's dog, Napoleon.
