    Comics from 1900 - 1938 were fucking amazing. I guess because fewer people could read back then, they needed gags in strips to really only exist on a visual level. I’m sure people read gags out then showed the picture to a group of workers or travelers.

    Here’s a sheet of one-panel from 1910. I think these were by Rube Goldberg, before he did his machine illustrations.
