Grimes's Goat

A domestic comedy strip following the chaos of a mischievous goat loose in an urban apartment. The narrative unfolds across eight panels in a grid layout, tracking the animal's destructive path through dinner preparations, furniture, and finally a dramatic escape sequence. The strip employs the conventions pioneered by early newspaper comics: speech balloons for dialogue, sequential panel progression, and exaggerated character expressions to heighten comic effect. The goat serves as the recurring character—a reliable catalyst for slapstick humor and household mayhem. This Sunday page exemplifies the visual storytelling methods that emerged from newspaper comics and became foundational to the medium, using spatial arrangement and action sequences to guide readers through a complete comedic narrative in a single feature.
