Now, What D'ye Think of That?

This four-panel Sunday strip follows a household in comic chaos: forty cracks appear in the floor after Johnnie fills it with basins of water; the maid Sun discovers the damage; Father arrives home to survey the disaster; and the family gathers at the dinner table, presumably to discuss the incident. The strip employs the visual vocabulary of early newspaper comics—sequential panels with speech balloons, expressive line work, and domestic humor centered on children's mischief and adult exasperation. Such strips were foundational to comic art, establishing recurring characters and situations that kept readers returning to the Sunday pages.
