A Sunday newspaper strip drawn by Wallace Morgan with verse by Harry Grant Dart. The narrative follows a young girl's fishing expedition in rural Maine, told across eight sequential panels that advance the plot from setup through comic payoff. Morgan's pen work demonstrates the visual conventions emerging in early newspaper comics: numbered panels, speech balloons, recurring characters, and varied compositions that guide the reader's eye. The verses anchor each scene, a common format of the era before dialogue-heavy balloons dominated. This strip exemplifies the Sunday supplement comic as it existed before the modern comic book—serialized entertainment appearing weekly in newspapers, combining illustration and text to create humor through both image and word.
