Petey Dink

A five-panel daily strip by C. A. Voight featuring Petey Dink, a recurring character navigating social situations through witty dialogue. The strip demonstrates the visual conventions that defined early newspaper comics: sequential panels, speech balloons advancing narrative, and sight gags (here, an exploding bottle). Published in the Sunday and daily pages that preceded the comic book, such strips established the medium's vocabulary—panel borders, word-image integration, and character continuity—that cartoonists would refine throughout the twentieth century. Voight's economical ink line and staged compositions typify the draftsmanship of 1910s newspaper cartooning.
