Jerry on the Job

A Sunday comic strip by Frank Lattimer following Jerry, a young office boy navigating workplace mishaps. Here, Jerry attempts to impress his boss Herman with a scheme involving a child and a toy cart—a setup that predictably backfires. The strip employs the visual conventions established by newspaper comics of the 1910s: multiple panels arranged sequentially, speech balloons advancing the narrative, and a recurring protagonist whose misadventures drive each installment. *Jerry on the Job* appeared in newspapers across America, exemplifying how the Sunday pages and daily strips became the primary venue for sequential storytelling art before the comic book format emerged in the 1930s.
