Traurige Folgen der Faulheit
A German 1876 sheet of sixteen small captioned woodcut-style vignettes by Fritz Steub, titled Traurige Folgen der Faulheit, a moralising picture story for children about laziness and its consequences. The scenes show a schoolboy at a desk, a boy dozing or avoiding work, and a donkey-like figure in comic mishaps, with short verses beneath each panel; a designer could take the grid of sequential cartoon panels and the caption-under-image layout as a model for storyboarding or comic strips.
