Lady Bountiful's Archery Party

This six-panel Sunday strip follows a genteel archery outing hosted by Lady Bountiful and attended by a cast of child characters and small figures. The narrative unfolds through sequential panels: instruction and setup, confusion and mishap, escalating chaos, and resolution. The artist uses speech balloons, varied panel sizes, and sight gags—particularly the comedic misadventures of arrows and archery equipment—to sustain visual humor across the page. The strip exemplifies early-1900s newspaper comic conventions: recurring characters in domestic or social scenarios, reliance on physical comedy, and the panel-based narrative structure that became foundational to comic storytelling. Lady Bountiful represents the leisured society pages that anchor Sunday supplements, blending humor with genteel manners and drawing-room entertainment.
