Mr. Broad of Wall Street

A five-panel daily strip following a Wall Street financier caught in a office robbery. The narrative unfolds through sequential action: a cop calls in the holdup, the crook questions his victim's valuables, the robber discovers no gun, and finally the criminal flees empty-handed. The strip employs the visual conventions established by newspaper comics—dialogue balloons, clear panel borders, and expressive line work—to build comedic timing across discrete moments. Character-driven humor typical of 1920s dailies, relying on situation and quick verbal exchanges rather than slapstick alone.
