Bud Blake is better known as the cartoonist behind the comic strip Tiger, the kid focused strip that started in 1965. Though Blake died in 2005 and new strips are no longer produced, King Features still reprints the old strips in newspapers and on their website. Before Tiger started, however, Blake drew a single panel comic called Ever Happen To You, which ran from 1954-1965. It was a single panel comic that mostly centered on suburban life, and while much like Tiger there was often a focus on kids and the trouble they were getting into, there were quite a few from the adult perspective as well. In fact, sometimes, as in the case of today's strip, both the adult and the kid perspective are shown at once. Mike Lynch has a few others posted on his blog if you'd like to see more.
I like this strip a lot. I love how an entire story is told in a single image, without any dialogue or caption whatsoever. I love the simultaneous simplicity of the image and complexity of the narrative. It works so well on so many levels. Plus, the artwork is wonderful.
