Fascinating. I don't understand a thing. It's such a completely different sensibility and narrative style to what we see now.
The one comic strip from that era that I can find something somewhat familiar to latch on to is Krazy Kat.

- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Explanation: His date wants him to get some water at intermission. He has to stand in a big long line to get the water, and when he gets it, there is a big long line to get back in where he has to balance the water and he gets more and more frustrated until a guy spills the water and he tries to beat the crap out of him, but ends up in jail.
Sounds like a vignette that would have worked perfectly as a sequence in a Charlie Chaplin silent film.
I had no idea what was happening at first either although this explanation was my guess after careful study of the comic. Glad I got it!
I don't even know what is happening in this comic
