The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

A newspaper comic strip told from a dog's perspective, *The Diary of Snubs* employs sequential panels and speech balloons to convey humor through animal behavior and human interaction. The strip follows Snubs through a single day: promised a cookie by his owner, interrupted by a visiting dog named Sponge, then finally rewarded with treats after performing tricks. The artwork uses simple line drawing and caption narration beneath each panel—a common format in early Sunday comics. By the 1920s, recurring animal characters had become standard in newspaper strips, building on decades of visual storytelling that established the comic page as a distinct medium with its own grammar of panels, dialogue, and sequential narrative.
