Petey Dink

A Sunday strip by C. A. Voight featuring the recurring character Petey Dink and his parents in a seaside comedy. The four-panel sequence uses sequential art conventions—speech balloons, expressive line work, and panel borders—to convey a slapstick scenario involving water and mishap. The strip exemplifies the visual vocabulary developing in newspaper comics of the 1910s, where recurring characters and family dynamics provided material for both daily strips and Sunday pages. Petey Dink appeared regularly during this period as part of the expanding syndicated comic offerings that established the structural and narrative foundations later adopted by comic books.
