The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

This Sunday strip employs the animal protagonist as first-person narrator, a popular device in early twentieth-century newspaper comics. Through sequential panels and speech balloons, Snubs recounts a day's misadventures: chasing a man's hat, being scolded by his owner, losing a coin in a race, and reconciling with "the Boss" over candy. The strip exemplifies how newspaper comic artists of the 1920s developed visual continuity and recurring characters to sustain reader engagement across multiple installments. The pen-and-ink linework and panel layout reflect the technical innovations that transformed daily and Sunday pages into the foundational medium from which the modern comic book emerged.
