Percy

This Sunday strip follows Percy through a domestic dinner scene that escalates into slapstick chaos. The narrative unfolds across nine panels: a formal meal deteriorates as Percy's guests engage in increasingly wild behavior—food flies, chairs tip, and police arrive to restore order. The strip demonstrates the visual vocabulary newspaper comics had established by 1911: sequential panels, speech balloons advancing plot and character, and a recurring protagonist in situations both genteel and absurd. The exaggerated character designs and rapid-fire gag pacing reflect the Sunday page tradition, where strips competed for reader attention through humor and dynamic illustration rather than serialized drama.
