Grimes's Goat

A Sunday comic strip by Steinigans following the misadventures of a mischievous goat let loose in an urban setting. The narrative unfolds across eight panels using sequential art conventions now standard to comics: bordered frames, speech balloons, and action lines that guide reader movement left-to-right. The goat wreaks havoc on its pursuer, a figure in a light coat, creating physical comedy through exaggerated poses and dynamic composition. This strip exemplifies the newspaper Sunday pages that preceded modern comic books, establishing visual storytelling techniques—panel layout, perspective shifts, and visual pacing—that became foundational to the medium.
