Buttons and Fatty

This Sunday page follows two child characters through a comedic misadventure involving a window accident and a mistaken ghost sighting. The strip demonstrates the visual conventions that defined early newspaper comics: sequential panels advancing a gag narrative, speech balloons anchoring dialogue, and expressive character acting rendered in bold line work. *Buttons and Fatty* exemplifies the slapstick humor and domestic scenarios that dominated the Sunday funny pages during the 1920s, when newspaper comic strips were the primary mass medium for sequential art and established the visual grammar—panel borders, perspective, timing through layout—that would become fundamental to comic book storytelling.
