The Newly Wed's Baby Thinks He's Handsome

This Sunday strip follows a young couple and their infant son through six panels of domestic comedy. The husband attempts to entertain the baby with a doll while his wife observes; later, the wife shows the child a mirror, prompting the baby's delighted response. The strip employs the standard visual vocabulary of early newspaper comics: distinct panels advancing the narrative, speech balloons capturing dialogue, and exaggerated facial expressions conveying emotion. The recurring characters and domestic setting reflect the popularity of family-based humor in the Sunday funny pages, a format that directly influenced the development of comic books. The artist's linework and page composition demonstrate the graphic sophistication that transformed newspaper strips into a distinct medium.
