Simon Simple

This Sunday strip follows Simon Simple as he attempts to bring a rabbit dog to the dinner table, only to watch chaos unfold across six panels. The narrative unfolds through speech balloons and sequential action: the animal is fetched, brought inside, and eventually chases the gathered family in wild pandemonium. The strip exemplifies early newspaper comic conventions—recurring characters, sight gags dependent on visual sequence, and escalating slapstick. The heavy black line work and caricatured figures reflect the drawing style of turn-of-the-century comic strips, which established the visual vocabulary later adopted by comic books: panel composition, motion lines, and exaggerated anatomy all serve the comedic premise.
