Kernel Cootie

This Sunday strip follows Kernel Cootie and his companions through a four-panel sequence attempting to catch a chicken for dinner. The narrative unfolds through sequential action: pursuit, chaos, and escalating disorder across the panels. The strip employs the visual conventions established by newspaper comics of the 1920s—discrete panels, motion lines, expressive caricature, and sight gags dependent on physical comedy. Characters recur within the strip's world, and speech balloons convey minimal dialogue. The work reflects the Sunday newspaper comics format that directly preceded and shaped early comic books, establishing the medium's vocabulary of panel layout, character design, and comedic timing through sequential art.
