How Do They Do It?

A six-panel comic strip depicting office workers and a janitor debating the boss's management methods. The strip follows a simple visual formula: two-tier layout with speech balloons advancing a single joke through employee speculation about cost-cutting measures—from sweeping brooms to double-sided paper use. The final panel punctures the premise with physical comedy. The strip exemplifies early newspaper comics' reliance on recurring workplace types and sight gags, employing the panel-and-balloon syntax that defined the medium's visual language in the 1910s and 1920s.
