The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

A newspaper comic strip told from a dog's perspective, *The Diary of Snubs* uses first-person narration and sequential panels to recount the day's adventures—from a street-corner encounter with hurried pedestrians to a ride aboard a streetcar with a friendly conductor. The strip employs the visual conventions established in early comics: multiple rectangular panels arranged in reading order, speech balloons containing the dog's internal monologue, and simple line drawings. Recurring canine character strips like this were staples of Sunday newspaper pages, where artists developed the language of sequential art that would define the emerging comic book medium.
