Great Caesar's Ghost!

This Sunday comic strip follows a man visited by Caesar's ghost and an increasingly chaotic goat. The twelve-panel layout demonstrates the sequential storytelling conventions that defined early newspaper comics: distinct panels with speech balloons, escalating physical gags, and recurring characters driving the narrative. The artist employs ink wash and line work typical of the 1910s Sunday page, where comic strips served as the primary visual medium for sequential art before the comic book industry emerged. The strip's structure—setup, complications, absurd resolution—mirrors the pacing of vaudeville humor that dominated popular entertainment and shaped the grammar of visual comedy that would persist through decades of newspaper dailies and the comic books they spawned.
