Various - Condo, A.D.

This Sunday strip demonstrates the visual conventions crystallizing in early-1900s newspaper comics: distinct panels, speech balloons, and exaggerated character types arranged for narrative clarity. The lead figure's raised hand and expressive face anchor the composition, while a crowd of supporting characters recedes behind—a device allowing artists to develop recurring personalities across multiple installments. By 1905, such strips had become fundamental to Sunday editions, establishing the sequential art vocabulary that would define the comic book medium a generation later.
