The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

This newspaper comic strip presents a dog's perspective on household life through sequential panels and speech balloons—visual conventions that became fundamental to the medium. The strip follows Snubs through everyday interactions with a cat named Sponge and the family's meal routine. Each panel builds narrative through action and dialogue, showing how recurring animal characters could sustain reader interest across multiple installments. The pen-and-ink style and anthropomorphic humor typify the Sunday newspaper comics that, alongside daily strips, created the visual and narrative foundations from which comic books would emerge.
