Original daily comic strip art by Richard Rodgers, ink on paper. Dated February 3 and believed to date from circa 1947, corresponding with the final year of Rodgers’ tenure on Diary of Snubs Our Dog for The Christian Science Monitor. This strip follows Snubs on a cold winter afternoon that draws him indoors, lured by the warmth of the house and the familiar smells of the kitchen, ending in a quietly comic moment of domestic “perfection.” Rendered with clean, economical linework and conversational narration, the piece reflects the understated, observational humor that defined the strip during its mid-century Monitor run.
Richard Rodgers was an American cartoonist who assumed duties on Diary of Snubs Our Dog in 1939, following the strip’s creator Paul R. Carmack. Rodgers drew the feature through 1947, maintaining its gentle tone and domestic focus during a transitional period for The Christian Science Monitor’s in-house comics program. His work bridges the original Carmack era and the later Ted Miller run, preserving the quiet, character-driven humor that made Snubs a long-running and beloved Monitor feature.
