Grimes's Goat

A Sunday comic strip by Steinigans following the misadventures of a mischievous goat and its owner Grimes. The narrative unfolds across nine panels in a grid format typical of newspaper comics of the era. The strip employs speech balloons, action lines, and exaggerated character expressions to convey humor and movement. A contest announcement—"Get Grimess Goat and Win a Suit of Clothes"—integrates advertising into the storytelling, a common practice in early comic strips. The recurring character and episodic structure exemplify how newspaper comics of the 1910s established visual conventions: sequential panels, expressive linework, and recurring protagonists that would become foundational to the emerging comic book form.
