Petey Dink

C.A. Voight's *Petey Dink* strip follows a young protagonist through comedic misadventures, here depicting a railroad-based plot spanning multiple panels. The strip exemplifies the newspaper comic's visual language: sequential panels with speech balloons advancing narrative, expressive pen work defining character and action, and recurring figures establishing continuity across installments. Published during the Sunday and daily strip's golden age, *Petey Dink* represents the standardized vocabulary of sequential art that emerged from early 20th-century newspaper comics—a foundational form that would directly influence the comic book medium's development in the 1930s and beyond.
