Diary of Snubs Our Dog — Original Daily Strip Art by Ted Miller (Used Nov. 20)
Original daily comic strip art by Ted Miller (1918–2007), ink on paper. Notations on the reverse indicate publication/use on November 20. Believed to be from Diary of Snubs Our Dog, Miller’s long-running daily strip for The Christian Science Monitor. The sequence follows Snubs enthusiastically misinterpreting a dance lesson, transforming a polite foxtrot into a full gallop. Executed with loose, confident linework and restrained narration, the strip exemplifies Miller’s gentle humor and economical visual storytelling during his postwar syndication years.
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.
