Original comic strip art by Ted Miller (1918–2007), ink on paper, circa late 1940s. This multi-panel sequence follows a group of neighborhood kids unraveling the mystery of vanishing baseballs, only to discover they’ve disappeared into cracks and holes beneath their feet. Drawn with loose, energetic linework and lively childlike dialogue, the strip captures Miller’s talent for everyday American humor and observational storytelling. Likely produced during Miller’s early postwar years for The Christian Science Monitor or a related outlet, this piece stands as a strong example of mid-century newspaper comic art in original 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.
