Great Caesar's Ghost and Great Caesar's Coat

This Sunday page strips follows a familiar comedic premise: a ghost materializes to complicate the affairs of the living. The narrative escalates from casual encounter through escalating chaos—a lady consults a spirit medium, receives unwanted supernatural advice, and pandemonium erupts in public. The strip demonstrates the established visual vocabulary of early newspaper comics: multiple tiers of rectangular panels, speech balloons anchored to speakers, and sequential action flowing across the page. Recurring characters and situations, hallmarks of newspaper strips, allowed readers to develop familiarity with the cast. By 1914, such strips appeared daily and Sunday in major papers nationwide, establishing the visual grammar and serial storytelling that would define the comic book medium.
