The Onion Sisters' Little Brothers Make It Warm for Mr. Pumpkin

This Sunday comic strip follows the Onion Sisters and their brothers through a snowy adventure building a snowman. The narrative unfolds across seven panels, establishing character and conflict through sequential art. Speech balloons carry dialogue and exposition while action moves left to right, top to bottom—visual conventions that newspapers had standardized by the early 1900s. The strip exemplifies how Sunday pages evolved from single gag cartoons into sustained storytelling vehicles with recurring characters, paving the way for the modern comic book format that would emerge within two decades.
