How Do They Do It?

A six-panel comic strip following a man's wartime escape from a war-torn country. The protagonist flees bombed cities, survives at sea in a barrel, discovers abundant farmland, and confronts both profiteers and authorities demanding payment or starvation. The final panel poses the strip's title question: *How do they do it?* The strip employs sequential panel layouts, speech balloons, and visual contrast between devastation and plenty to develop its narrative. Published during World War I, the comic reflects contemporary anxieties about food scarcity, profiteering, and displacement while exploring the emerging language of newspaper comics—panels advancing action and dialogue revealing character intent.
