Foxy Grandpa was popular enough in 1902 to be in a series of short films (1902 AMB mutoscopes, preserved by the Library of Congress). I imagine this is very likely to be the first adaptation of a comic strip to the screen… hard to say, though, since old film has fared even worse than old newsprint. Beats the hell out of the Garfield movies.
Here’s an example I scanned of Foxy Grandpa from 1905 by Bunny (Carl Edward Schultze). In spite of being one of the best known comics of its era according to Don Markstein’s Toonopedia, looking at Amazon it appears that there hasn’t been a reprint book of Foxy Grandpa since 1916.
