The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

This Sunday strip follows Snubs the dog through a sequence of misadventures told from the animal's perspective. Each panel narrates events in the dog's voice—from a mascot job and stolen sausages to running from the Boss and a confrontation with neighborhood children. The strip employs the visual conventions that define newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, human and animal characters sharing the page, and a narrative arc that builds across multiple scenes. The recurring character of Snubs anchors readers' return visits, a strategy central to comics' emergence as daily narrative entertainment. Drawn in loose, gestural lines, the strip captures movement and personality economically, techniques refined by artists working in early twentieth-century newspaper pages.
