Diary of Snubs Our Dog — Original Daily Strip Art by Ted Miller (Feb. 3, c. 1947)
Original daily comic strip art by Ted Miller (1918–2007), ink on paper. Dated February 3 and believed to date from circa 1947, aligning with the earliest period of Miller’s Diary of Snubs Our Dog run for The Christian Science Monitor. This strip follows Snubs on a cold winter afternoon that leads him indoors, drawn by the warmth of the house and the irresistible smells of the kitchen, ending in a quietly comic moment of domestic “perfection.” Rendered with loose, confident linework and conversational narration, the piece reflects Miller’s early postwar style and the gentle, observational 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.
