Buttons and Fatty

This Sunday strip features two child characters navigating domestic life and weather. The narrative unfolds across six panels: Buttons and Fatty discuss chores at the dinner table, shift to indoor play, move through a rainy window scene, and culminate outdoors in heavy rain. The artist employs speech balloons, sequential action, and recurring characters—visual conventions inherited from earlier newspaper strips that became foundational to comic book language. The domestic setting and child protagonists reflect popular entertainment tastes of the 1920s, when newspaper comics were America's primary sequential visual storytelling medium.
