The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

This comic strip follows the adventures of Snubs, a dog whose perspective frames each day's events. The narrative moves through four panels showing a car ride, a woodland picnic, Snubs exploring the forest, and the discovery of a cat guarding a cache of food—prompting agreement from the human family about picnic provisions. The strip employs the visual vocabulary of 1920s newspaper comics: sequential panels, handwritten dialogue integrated into scenes, and a recurring character whose personality drives the humor. This format, pioneered by strips in the Sunday and daily pages, established the grammar of modern comics—discrete moments linked by narrative flow, combining image and text to tell a story from a specific viewpoint.
