The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

A Sunday comic strip told from a dog's perspective, following Snubs through a day of interrupted play. The strip demonstrates the sequential visual storytelling that defined early newspaper comics: multiple panels advancing a single narrative, speech balloons carrying character voice, and recurring protagonists. The humor derives from the gap between human and canine priorities—Snubs abandons kite-flying with the Boss when friends arrive, only to find himself reduced to holding the string while the children have fun. By day's end, exhausted from the chaos, he retreats to rest. The ink-line drawing style and panel layout reflect the conventions established by pioneers of the medium in the 1910s-20s, when newspaper Sunday pages became laboratories for visual narrative innovation.
