Campus Comedy

A Sunday newspaper comic strip featuring overlapping vignettes of college life and domestic humor. The page demonstrates the layout conventions of 1920s comic sections: multiple joke scenarios arranged around decorative mastheads, each with its own panel structure and cast. Characters include coeds, collegians, and household figures; gags turn on romantic misunderstandings, social pretension, and physical comedy. The strip employs word balloons, sequential panel arrangement, and cartoon linework typical of the era's newspaper Sunday pages. These pages—not yet called comic books—established the visual and narrative formats that would define American comics: recurring characters, standardized panel grids, and integrated text and image that readers would recognize as a distinct medium.
