Grimes's Goat

A Sunday comic strip by Steinigans following the misadventures of a mischievous goat and its owner, Mr. Grimes. The six-panel narrative unfolds across urban and domestic settings, employing sequential art conventions—distinct panels, dialogue balloons, and visual continuity—that were becoming standard in newspaper comics of the early 1910s. The goat causes chaos at a clothing store, disrupts pedestrians, and wreaks havoc indoors, with Grimes in constant pursuit. The strip exemplifies how newspapers serialized humor through recurring characters and slapstick action, establishing visual storytelling techniques that would become foundational to modern comic strips and eventually the comic book medium.
