Histoire de Mr. Vieux Bois (also known as Les amours de Mr. Vieux Bois, or simply Mr. Vieux Bois), published in English as The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck (sometimes referred to simply as Obadiah Oldbuck),[1] is a 19th-century publication written and illustrated by the Swiss caricaturist Rodolphe Töpffer.

It was created in 1827 and published first in Geneva, Switzerland in 1837 as Histoire de Mr. Vieux Bois,[1] then in London in 1841 by Tilt and Bogue editions as the book The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck,[1][2] and then in New York, U.S., in a newspaper supplement titled Brother Jonathan Extra No. IX (September 14, 1842),[3][4][5] followed by an 1849 republication as a book titled The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck, published in New York by Wilson & Co.[6][7] The English-language editions were unlicensed copies of the original work as they were done without Töpffer's authorization.

Oldbuck is commonly referred to as the first comic book printed in the U.S. and America's first newspaper comic.[3]
