The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

A Sunday newspaper comic strip featuring Snubs, a small spotted dog, narrating his daily misadventures through first-person diary entries. Each panel shows a distinct episode: searching for the Bone, being let in by Mrs. Peach, intercepting a phone call, and causing mayhem during a telephone conversation. The strip employs the visual grammar established by early comics—sequential panels with speech balloons, recurring character, and anthropomorphic humor. The diary format allows the cartoonist to blend visual gags with written narration, a technique common in newspaper comics of the 1920s that bridged print humor and emerging sequential art. The strip exemplifies how Sunday pages served as proving grounds for character-driven comedy before the comic book format emerged.
