Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

A domestic comedy strip told from a dog's perspective, following a day of hide-and-seek between Snubs and his young owner around a farmyard straw stack. The narrative unfolds across six panels with hand-lettered captions recounting each discovery: the dog's self-concealment strategy, a thorough search with no results, and finally Snubs' surprise arrival from atop the very hiding place. The artwork employs the panel-and-caption structure fundamental to early newspaper comics, with pen line work capturing movement and personality. This format—combining sequential art with character-driven domestic humor—emerged directly from the Sunday newspaper pages, where recurring animal and child characters became the foundation for comic strip storytelling in the 1920s.
