The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog
· 1925

This comic strip narrates a day in the life of Snubs the dog through six sequential panels, each advancing the story with text and illustration. The unnamed boy protagonist and Snubs interact across domestic and outdoor scenes: the Boss beats rugs while Snubs barks, Snubs helps pull rugs away, work is interrupted, and finally Snubs retrieves bedding from the neighbor's house. The strip employs the visual grammar standard to newspaper comics by the 1920s: rectangular panels, speech balloons, recurring characters, and a plot structure that resolves within the page. Drawn in quick, economical ink lines, it exemplifies the Sunday supplement format where cartoonists used animal characters and domestic humor to reach family audiences.
