Just Dog

This daily strip follows a dog's misadventures with the neighborhood cat. The narrative unfolds across four panels using speech balloons and sequential action to build comedic momentum: a dog complains about the cat's attack, promises future solitude for the offender, then encounters a new crisis. The artist employs hatching and bold linework typical of 1920s newspaper comics, with recurring characters and domestic situations that defined the era's humor strips. *Just Dog* exemplifies how daily strips built humor through character interaction and escalating consequences, establishing visual storytelling conventions—panel sequence, dialogue placement, expressive animal anatomy—that became foundational to comic art itself.
