Rogers Discusses the End of the World

Will Rogers's Sunday comic strip combines topical humor with sequential art typical of 1920s newspaper comics. A figure discusses global anxieties—war, climate, economic collapse—in conversational panels, each building the satirical argument through speech balloons and expressive linework. The strip exemplifies how newspapers serialized comic narratives across Sunday pages, developing recurring characters and visual gags that became foundational to comic storytelling. Rogers's approach treats the comic strip as a vehicle for social commentary, merging editorial cartooning with the sequential panel structure that defined the emerging medium.
