Bud 'n' Bub

A Sunday newspaper comic strip featuring two characters traveling the globe to document beliefs about human creation. The strip uses panel sequencing and speech balloons to move between scenes: a traveler interviewing subjects, religious and mythological imagery, indigenous origin narratives, and comparative animal symbolism. The layout demonstrates the visual storytelling conventions developed in newspaper comics—distinct panels advancing narrative, dialogue balloons anchoring voice to character, and recurring figures. This page exemplifies how the Sunday funnies functioned as laboratories for sequential art technique during the era when newspaper comics established the visual grammar later adopted by the comic book industry.
