Nobody by Meek

A four-panel strip featuring two men—one in a bowler hat telling an exaggerated fish story, the other a ragged figure who claims to be "Nobody." The humor turns on a familiar joke structure: when asked his name after corroborating the fisherman's tale, the second man replies "Nobody"—setting up the classic punchline where the fisherman can tell others that "Nobody" believed his story. The strip employs speech balloons, distinct panel divisions, and recurring character types typical of early newspaper comics. Meek's economical line work and sequential narrative flow exemplify the visual vocabulary that newspaper strips established as the foundation for modern comic art.
