Percy

This Sunday comic strip follows Percy through a series of escalating misadventures involving ghosts, monsters, and supernatural chaos. The six-panel layout demonstrates the newspaper page's narrative structure: each tier builds tension through recurring gags and physical comedy. Percy's exaggerated expressions and the densely packed supporting cast reflect the visual vocabulary emerging in early 1910s comics—sequential panels with speech balloons, consistent character design, and slapstick timing translated to the printed page. By this period, Sunday strips had become a staple of metropolitan newspapers, establishing the formal language that would define American comic books for decades to come.
