Little Pal — Of Course, He Knows a High Brow!

This four-panel strip follows a small child's misunderstanding of the term "high brow." Each panel advances the joke through sequential art: the child asks an adult about "funny" people with high brows, the adult explains the phrase refers to intellectual sophistication, and the child then locates someone literally tall. The strip employs the visual language developed by newspaper comics—speech balloons, consistent character design, and panel progression—that became foundational to comic book storytelling. Recurring child characters like this one appeared regularly in early 1900s dailies, establishing the comedic timing and sight-gags that would define the medium.
