The Diary of Snubs, Our Dog

This comic strip presents a dog's perspective through sequential panels—the visual format that defines newspaper comics. Five scenes follow Snubs through domestic mishaps: hearing the mailman, losing his composure, being denied a bath, catching a cat, and finally escaping with his prize. The artist employs speech balloons, expressive linework, and recurring character to construct narrative across space. The strip belongs to the 1920s newspaper era when Sunday features and dailies established the visual grammar—panels, captions, expressions—that would become the foundation of comic books. Snubs's mischievous personality emerges through action and voice, techniques borrowed from vaudeville and early animation to suit the printed page.
