The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

A Sunday comic strip told from a dog's point of view, narrated through Snubs's internal complaints about being ignored during dinner and later winning back attention through mischief. The strip demonstrates the visual vocabulary standardized by 1920s newspaper comics: sequential panels advancing a narrative, speech balloons containing both dialogue and thought, and recurring animal characters in domestic settings. The anthropomorphic dog shares the page with human family members, a common approach to humor that made comics accessible to mixed audiences. Snubs's scheming—from nibbling ankles to seeking lap time—reflects the period's fondness for pet-centered humor and observational comedy about household life.
