Fuller Bunk

Meyer Marcus's *Fuller Bunk* strips followed the domestic misadventures of its titular character through four-panel narratives. Here, Fuller's wife objects to his evening attire for a social engagement, sparking a back-and-forth about appropriate dress. The strip employs the visual conventions established in early newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, expressive line work, and recurring characters in relatable situations. Such daily strips populated newspapers nationwide in the 1910s, establishing the formal vocabulary—panel layout, dialogue placement, character continuity—that would define comic book storytelling for decades to come.
