The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog
· 1924

This strip narrates a day in the life of Snubs through the dog's perspective, documenting a backyard chase with 'the Boss.' The artist employs sequential panels and speech balloons to convey action and canine wit—standard vocabulary of the newspaper comic strip. Children pursue the dog across multiple scenes; Snubs alternates between evasion and momentary surrender, only to resume the game. The format exemplifies how early comic strips translated slapstick comedy to the printed page, relying on dynamic figure drawing and repeated character situations to sustain reader interest across the Sunday comics section.
