Home Wanted by a Baby!

This Sunday strip by Clare Victor Dwiggins follows a baby's search for a home through a series of domestic disasters. Each panel presents a different household—a seamstress, a baker, a fishmonger—where the infant's arrival creates escalating chaos. The strip's visual narrative relies on sequential panels, speech balloons, and physical comedy to advance the plot. Dwiggins employs the formal conventions that shaped newspaper comics: clear panel borders, expressive line work, and recurring character interactions. Published during the medium's formative years, when Sunday newspaper supplements first established comics as a distinct art form separate from editorial cartoons, strips like this demonstrated how serialized visual storytelling could sustain reader interest across multiple panels and episodes.
