The Newlyweds

George McManus's *The Newlyweds* appears here alongside *Splinters* by Steinigans and *Dad in Kidland* by Carey on a newspaper Sunday comics page. McManus's strip follows a young married couple navigating domestic life through visual gags and sight comedy. The page demonstrates the standard format of early newspaper comics: multiple strips sharing space, each using sequential panels with speech balloons to advance narrative and jokes. By 1912, such Sunday pages had become essential features of American newspapers, establishing the visual language—panel layout, character consistency, word-image integration—that would define comic strips and eventually comic books as a medium.
