How You Felt

By Ferd C. Long, this Sunday comic presents two domestic scenarios rendered in exaggerated caricature. The left panel depicts a husband's shock upon learning his wife has dismissed the cook; the right shows his triumphant moment carrying a cane—presumably from an earlier courtship. Long employs the visual vocabulary that defined early newspaper comics: multiple panels with sequential narrative, expressive figure drawing, and speech balloons anchoring gags. The strip's humor relies on household situations and masculine perspective typical of the era's Sunday page format, where such humor strips shared space with adventure narratives and established the panel-driven storytelling that would become fundamental to comic books.
