Ted Miller — Original Domestic Comedy Comic Strip Art (c. late 1940s)
Original comic strip art by Ted Miller (1918–2007), ink on paper, circa late 1940s. This multi-panel domestic comedy centers on escalating household chaos around a faulty hydrant and an overzealous attempt to fix it, rendered with expressive figures, energetic motion, and sharp comedic timing. The strip reflects Miller’s facility with character-driven humor beyond his better-known animal work, showcasing the same clear storytelling and confident linework that defined his newspaper career in the immediate postwar years. A lively example of mid-century American newspaper cartooning 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.
