The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

This strip presents a dog's perspective on domestic life through sequential panels and handwritten diary entries. Each scene captures Snubs in different situations—begging at the table, playing with children, lounging indoors—with accompanying text explaining his observations. The format combines visual narrative with first-person narration, a technique common in early newspaper comics. By the 1920s, the Sunday comics page had become a laboratory for experimenting with panel layouts, speech balloons, and recurring animal characters. Strips like this one helped establish visual conventions that would define American comic strips and eventually the comic book medium itself.
