A Few More Lemons at a Cent Apiece
· February 22, 1907

F. G. Long's Sunday comic strip features four panels of visual wordplay, each showcasing a pun-based headline from *The Evening Fudge*: "Thaws Hee-Haw by Daffy Down Dewus," "Thaws Corny by Sammy Snively," "Thaws Hat by Hickory Dickery Dox," and "Thaws Croup by Gladys Saddigan." Small characters react with exaggerated expressions to each absurdist title. The strip exemplifies early newspaper comics' reliance on typography as graphic element and phonetic humor. Published in the Sunday supplement tradition that defined American comics' visual vocabulary—recurring characters, sequential panels, integrated text and image—before the medium coalesced into the modern comic book format.
