Boob McNutt

This Sunday newspaper comic strip follows Boob McNutt through a series of physical misadventures involving caged animals and domestic chaos. The strip employs the visual conventions that became standard in early comics: numbered panels arranged in a grid, speech balloons for dialogue, and sequential action across a single page. Published in The Washington Times, the strip exemplifies how newspapers' Sunday comic sections served as the primary venue for comic art in the 1920s. The format—a recurring character encountering escalating slapstick situations—became foundational to the medium, establishing narrative rhythm through panel progression and the interplay of image and text that would later define comic books themselves.
