A four-panel daily strip by Meyer Marcus featuring two rotund characters in conversation. In the opening panel, one figure emerges from a door marked "BOSS"; the second panel shows him demanding a raise, answered with "Why?"; the third presents the excuse "Because, I'm married!" The final panel delivers the punchline: the boss refuses responsibility for accidents outside the shop. The strip exemplifies early newspaper comic conventions—recurring characters, speech balloons, sequential panel narrative—that evolved from comic supplements into the visual language of modern comics. Working dailies like this, appearing in newspapers nationwide, established the fundamental grammar of the medium before the comic book format emerged.
