Sunny Climes — Original Comic Strip Art by Ted Miller (Published Dec. 2, 1953)
Original comic strip art by Ted Miller (1918–2007), ink on paper. Notations on the reverse indicate payment on October 31 and publication/use on December 2, 1953. Believed to be from Sunny Climes, Miller’s lightly serialized, character-driven feature that ran intermittently in The Christian Science Monitor. The strip centers on a domestic mishap and generational déjà vu, rendered with clean panel composition, expressive faces, and restrained dialogue. A well-documented example of Miller’s postwar newspaper work, preserved in original art form.
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.
