Bobby Make-Believe

This Sunday strip follows young Bobby and his dog Fudge through an elaborate fantasy sequence. The narrative opens with Bobby's mother asking what he imagines his dog does, then shifts into Bobby's daydream: Fudge battles a bear, rescues a child from water, and confronts a tiger. The strip demonstrates early comic strip conventions—recurring characters, speech balloons, sequential panel progression—that shaped newspaper comics. Multiple tiers guide the reader's eye downward through escalating adventure scenarios, while the contrast between domestic framing and imaginative content reveals the form's appeal to both children and adults during the Sunday supplement era.
