The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

This newspaper comic strip narrates events from a dog's perspective, following Snubs through domestic misadventures during a rainstorm. The strip uses sequential panels with speech balloons to convey both the dog's internal thoughts and human dialogue, a visual vocabulary pioneered in early twentieth-century newspaper comics. The narrative unfolds across six panels—from a school-day downpour through the dog's attempts to retrieve an umbrella and eventually appearing at school—combining sight gags with character-driven humor. The loose, expressive linework and reliance on animal protagonists reflect the era's popular comic strips that appeared in Sunday and daily papers, establishing conventions that became foundational to comic book storytelling.
