The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

A Sunday strip told through the voice of Snubs, a small dog narrating his week to the reader. The strip demonstrates the narrative flexibility of early comics: sequential panels advance a story across multiple days, while speech balloons carry both dialogue and extended first-person monologue. The humor turns on the gap between Snubs's perspective and human reality—a "big dog" neighbor seems frightening and uneventful to humans, but thrilling to him. Simple ink line-work and varied panel compositions show the visual economy newspaper cartoonists developed to hold reader attention while accommodating editorial space constraints.
