Mr. Titus Wad Doesn't Know Yet That He Tried to Shoot Up a Bunch of Decoys

A five-panel Sunday strip following the misadventures of Mr. Titus Wad, an eager but hapless hunter. The comic employs a visual narrative common to early newspaper strips: detailed speech balloons explaining setup and consequence, sequential panels tracking action from preparation through failure, and exaggerated character expressions. Wad's plan to hunt ducks unfolds through careful panel composition—speech in the first frames, the shooting sequence concentrated in the middle, and the reveal of his mistake in the final panels. The strip demonstrates the fundamental grammar of comics developed in newspaper pages: recurring characters, panel-to-panel progression, and the marriage of word and image to create humor through timing.
