   Yes, Sluggo succumbed to old age and couldn’t make that score.

   We’ll never know for sure, but(t) the umpire’s comic reaction to Sluggo’s Blow Gun suggests a sharp object; like a dart-game-dart.

   Such would upstage Sluggo’s Pea Shooter and those darts have diameters larger than what Sluggo is using.

   Strip #2, and panels #2 & 3, I’m wondering if the word “Frog” in the title connotes to the word "French” as specific to the tall, overdressed male character kissing Bozann on the hand.

   Panel #3 in Strip #3 reveals Bozo’s familiarity with military weaponry.

   A bit of overkill in terms of ducks but Bozo is a notorious innovator.

   He also has access to various firearms as revealed in his long career and that’s the long-and-short-of-it for now.

   The imagination of Winsor McCay staggers me.

   With respect to originality, McKay brings to my mind the work of George Herriman and his deep involvement with the Krazy Kat strips.

   Another Artist that comes to mind is Foxo Reardon, creator of the nonverbal BOZO strip, available and enjoyable on this site.

   Foxo’s work is based on the “silent film” medium and he creates nonverbal strips with very clever ideas and superb draughtsmanship.

   Thank you for the Milt Walker TIP!!!

   From now on, I will keep my copy of Milt Walker’s excellent book of studies of the nonverbal semiotics cartoons handy.

   Panel #3 has me left wondering if the dust-puff from Sluggo’s walking pace was picked up from Bushmiller by Foxo Reardon for his awesome BOZO strips.

   The leg leaving the panel appears to be Sluggo’s left but I could be mistaken.

   I’ve been fending off the word “dwarf” ?

    My “spelling" of the word is the North American spelling — draftsmanship (3 vowels) — where your example Is British — draughtsmanship — (with 4 vowels), and in my experience, both spellings are valid.
