Diary of Snubs Our Dog — Original Daily Strip Art by Ted Miller (Feb. 21, c. 1947)
Description
Original daily comic strip art by Ted Miller (1918–2007), ink on paper. Dated February 21 and believed to date from circa 1947, corresponding with the early period of Miller’s Diary of Snubs Our Dog run for The Christian Science Monitor. The strip centers on a wry exchange about “work” and effort, with Snubs delivering the punchline through earnest confusion and physical comedy. Executed with loose, confident linework and conversational captioning, the piece reflects Miller’s early postwar style and the gentle, character-driven humor that defined the series.

Ted Miller was a Massachusetts-born American cartoonist best known for his daily strip Diary of Snubs Our Dog, published in The Christian Science Monitor from 1947 to 1954. A World War II Army Air Force veteran who contributed cartoons to Yank magazine, Miller handled writing, pencils, and inks on his work, giving his strips a consistent and personal voice. A member of the National Cartoonists Society—sponsored by Bob Montana—Miller’s work represents a quieter, character-driven tradition of postwar American newspaper cartooning.
