The Newlyweds—Isn't That Janitor Just the Meanest Old Thing

This Sunday page follows a young married couple through domestic mishaps as the building janitor interferes in their affairs. The strip employs the visual conventions that defined early newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, exaggerated poses for comedic effect, and a recurring cast navigating domestic situations. *The Newlyweds* exemplified the humor strips that dominated Sunday supplements in the 1910s, combining sight gags with character-driven plots. The strip's reliance on pantomime and physical comedy made it accessible to readers across language groups, reflecting how newspaper comics developed as a distinctly visual medium before the rise of the comic book format.
