Diary of Snubs Our Dog — Original Daily Strip Art (April 21, c. early 1950s)
Original daily comic strip art by Ted Miller (1918–2007), dated April 21 and believed to be from his long-running Diary of Snubs Our Dog series for The Christian Science Monitor. Ink on paper, circa early 1950s. The strip showcases Miller’s hallmark economy of line and gentle pacing, capturing a quiet, observational humor emblematic of postwar American newspaper cartooning. Created during the height of Miller’s syndication work, this piece represents a well-preserved example of his original strip art from the period.
Ted Miller was a Massachusetts-born cartoonist whose work defined a softer, more contemplative strain of American newspaper humor. Best known for Diary of Snubs Our Dog (1947–1954), Miller wrote, penciled, and inked his strips himself, bringing a consistent, personal voice to his work. A World War II Army Air Force veteran who contributed cartoons to Yank magazine, Miller later appeared in publications such as Better Homes and Gardens and was a member of the National Cartoonists Society, sponsored by Bob Montana. His work remains a quietly influential example of postwar American cartooning.
