Just Dog

A canine comedy strip showing a dog's escape through a fence and subsequent pursuit by smaller animals. The three-panel sequence demonstrates the visual language developing in early newspaper comics: action flowing across panels, dynamic posture and motion lines, and a punchline delivered through character dialogue. The recurring dog protagonist and escalating gag structure were typical of the daily and Sunday strips that established the foundation for comic book narrative—sequential art panels, speech balloons, and character-driven humor that would define the medium for decades.
