The Teasers—It Was an Ill Wind for Bobby

This six-panel Sunday strip follows Bobby and a companion through a windstorm that turns a simple outing into comic chaos. The artist uses sequential panels with speech balloons to chart the escalating action: an umbrella blown away, the wind intensifying, and ultimately Bobby's hat and dignity surrendered to the gale. The recurring child characters and domestic setting typify early-1900s newspaper comics, which pioneered the visual vocabulary—panel borders, thought balloons, expressive linework—that became the foundation of comic books. Sunday pages like this were popular entertainment, establishing the grammar of sequential art that later graphic narratives would inherit.
