The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

This comic strip captures five moments from a dog's day through simple line drawings and handwritten captions. Snubs races toward the grocery store, checks the yard for an escaped neighbor's dog, chases a cat, and finally gets chased by the same cat—ending in mock terror. The strip's format—sequential panels with brief narrative text below each scene—became standard in newspaper comics. Artists of this era established the visual vocabulary of the medium: recurring animal characters, comic timing across panels, and expressive linework that conveyed movement and emotion in minimal space.
