Home Wanted by a Baby!

This Sunday strip by Clare Victor Dwiggins follows a woman and infant through a series of domestic mishaps as she seeks housing. The narrative unfolds across six panels using sequential art conventions—regular borders, speech balloons, and scene transitions—that were becoming standard in newspaper comics of the 1910s. The strip's humor derives from physical comedy and sight gags: a basket-carrying woman, domestic chaos, and a final automobile scene. Dwiggins's bold line work and figure drawing exemplify the visual style dominating the Sunday pages, where comic strips were establishing themselves as distinct narrative art form separate from editorial cartoons and single-panel gags.
