I Always Say—(Sez Gracie Allen)

This single-panel comic features Sez Gracie Allen, a recurring character credited to O. Soglow. The strip employs the visual conventions established in newspaper comics: a simple two-character scene with speech balloons and expressive line-drawn faces rendered in bold black ink. The gag presents a logical absurdity—the woman's deadpan rebuttal to the old proverb "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"—executed through the tight economy of form that defined daily comic strips. Soglow's streamlined style typified 1930s newspaper comics, which developed the visual vocabulary that would become foundational to the emerging comic book medium.
