Flip Among the Lilliputians

This Sunday comic strip demonstrates the visual vocabulary that defined early newspaper comics: a twelve-panel grid layout with speech balloons, sequential action across panels, and a recurring protagonist navigating absurd situations. The title references Jonathan Swift's *Gulliver's Travels*, positioning Flip as a giant among tiny inhabitants. The strip's dense panel arrangement and reliance on visual gags over dialogue reflect the conventions that newspapers established as the primary medium for comics in the early twentieth century, before these formats migrated to dedicated comic books.
