The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

A Sunday comic strip told from a dog's perspective, following Snubs and his canine friend Togo as they navigate a social visit. The strip demonstrates the narrative flexibility of newspaper comics in the 1920s, using sequential panels and speech balloons to develop character and plot across a full page. The ink drawings capture both animal behavior and human domestic life, employing the visual grammar that defined early comic strips: distinct panels advancing a continuous story, handwritten dialogue, and expressive line work. This format—original newspaper comics designed for Sunday publication—directly preceded and shaped the development of comic books as a medium.
