Cady's Peter Rabbit comic strip, which was based on Thornton Burgess' Peter Cottontail stories (as opposed to Beatrix Potter's version) was launched by the New York Herald Tribune Syndicate on August 15, 1920. He continued to write and draw the strip for almost three decades. Cady had a long association with Burgess, illustrating the writer's books, including Happy Jack, and his daily newspaper column, Bedtime Stories. Their partnership spanned five decades, beginning with Baby Possum Has a Scare (c. 1912), The Adventures of Reddy Fox (1913), and Buster Bear Invites Old Mr. Toad to Dine (c. 1914). The series continued into the 1950s with At Paddy the Beaver's Pond (1950), followed by the reprint The Animal World of Thornton Burgess (1962).
