Binnacle Jim's Visit to Davy Jones's Locker

This adventure comic strip follows Binnacle Jim and companions into a fantastical underwater realm. The narrative unfolds across six panels using sequential art conventions—speech balloons, panel borders, and recurring characters—that were still being standardized in Sunday newspaper comics. The strip demonstrates the visual storytelling techniques emerging in early-twentieth-century newspaper supplements: action sequences told through body language, dramatic perspective shifts, and dialogue that drives plot forward. Nautical adventure was a popular subject for comic strips during this period, when the Sunday funnies were establishing themselves as a distinct narrative form distinct from both editorial illustration and fine art.
