The Goat Family Have Pie for Supper

This six-panel strip follows a goat family's chaotic dinner preparations, using sequential narrative to build comic momentum. The artist employs speech balloons, varied panel sizes, and expressive ink line work typical of early newspaper comics. The recurring animal characters and escalating slapstick gags—from knocked-over pies to tumbling livestock—demonstrate the visual storytelling techniques that newspapers pioneered in Sunday supplements. The strip exemplifies how the daily press evolved the formal language of comics: clear panel progression, character consistency across frames, and sight gags that require sequential reading to land their punchlines.
