Otto Watt

A newspaper comic strip featuring a child character and an adult figure beside a radio. The left panel shows a radio speaker emitting sound waves with text reading "NEXT NUMBER WILL BE 'SAMSON AND DELILAH' SUNG BY—BZ-Z-ZZZ." The right panel continues the joke: "SAMSON HAD ONE BIG ADVANTAGE—DELILAH WAS ASLEEP WHILE SHE WAS CUTTING HIS HAIR AND DIDN'T TRY TO SELL HIM THE SHOP." The strip uses speech balloons and sequential panels—key conventions of the emerging comic strip medium that evolved from 1890s newspaper cartoons into the visual language of comic books. Otto Watt exemplifies the daily comic's reliance on wordplay, domestic situations, and popular culture references for humor.
