Wanted: Home by a Baby!

This Sunday strip by Clare Victor Dwiggins follows a resourceful infant on a quest to find shelter, employing visual gags built across sequential panels. The baby protagonist moves through distinct scenes—encountering adults, navigating urban spaces, and encountering obstacles—each panel advancing a simple narrative through action and dialogue balloons. Dwiggins uses the comics page format to develop character and situation through repeated imagery of the determined child. The strip exemplifies early newspaper comics' reliance on recurring characters, panel-based storytelling, and physical comedy to sustain reader interest across the evolving Sunday page format that emerged in American dailies during the 1900s-1910s.
