Ted Miller — Original Sports-Themed Comic Strip Art (Used Nov. 13, 1953)
Original comic strip art by Ted Miller (1918–2007), ink on paper. Notations on the reverse indicate payment on October 15 and publication/use on November 13, 1953. The multi-panel strip centers on a football gag built around sideline signals and deliberate confusion, showcasing Miller’s clear storytelling, confident figure work, and precise comedic timing. A well-documented example of mid-century American newspaper strip 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.
