The Misadventures of Sammy Small

This six-panel Sunday strip follows a mischievous toddler as he attempts to entertain an infant. Sammy's antics escalate from showing pictures to knocking over an ink bottle, creating progressively chaotic scenes that culminate in his father's return home to discover the mess. The strip employs sequential panel layout, speech balloons, and physical comedy—visual techniques that defined early newspaper comics. Recurring child characters and domestic settings were popular subjects in the Sunday pages, which served as color showcases for newspapers and direct predecessors to the comic book format that would emerge decades later.
