Lancer in the Inkwell, Comic

Lancer in the inkwell comic strip, illustrated by Lewis Pardain for the Kellbridge Chronicle

This short comic strip is a good example of Lewis Pardain’s style of cartoons. He focused heavily on the idea of his characters interacting with the space outside the frame, such as articles, words, and photos on the same page, or even an entirely separate page. Pardain’s employers were at first hesitant to allow this in the paper but were eventually convinced when he insisted that it set the paper apart from others.
