Little Jimmy

A Sunday newspaper comic strip featuring a young protagonist and supporting cast in sequential panels with dialogue balloons. The strip employs the visual conventions that became standard in early twentieth-century comics: uniform panel grids, expressive line work, and recurring characters in domestic or neighborhood situations. Published in the Sunday edition alongside baseball scores and city news, *Little Jimmy* represents the comics pages' role as a daily feature drawing readers to newspapers. The strip's format—simple gags played across multiple panels—established narrative and comedic structures that would define the medium as it developed from newspaper supplements into standalone comic books.
