Now What D'ye Think of That?

A four-panel Sunday comic featuring a schoolroom scene where a teacher quizzes students using nature charts. The strip employs sequential panels with speech balloons to advance a joke about a student named Willie who conflates the Panama Canal with a duck's swimming ability. The cartoonist uses exaggerated character expressions and props—nature posters, a barrel—to build comedy through visual repetition and escalating absurdity. This strip exemplifies early newspaper comic conventions: recurring child characters, pedagogical humor, and the panel-based narrative structure that shaped modern sequential art.
