Dolby's Double

This newspaper comic strip follows Dolby, a character who discovers his exact double and attempts to exploit the resemblance for personal gain. The strip demonstrates the visual conventions that defined early-twentieth-century comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, recurring characters, and slapstick humor built on mistaken identity. Published in the Sunday and daily newspaper pages where comic strips first emerged as a distinct medium, *Dolby's Double* exemplifies how artists developed the visual grammar of comics—panel borders, word-image integration, and narrative pacing—that would establish the foundation for the modern comic book industry.
