Gross was first and foremost a Gagmeister, an iconoclast who made a career out of pricking the pincushion of pomposity.
Even when Gross uses a page simply to move the characters from one location to the next, he makes certain that plenty of gaggage is unloaded on their trip.
Immediately he is conked by a falling can of paint, whacked under the chin by a 2 X 4, stomped on by a shod horse, cracked by a turn signal, spun around by a rush of city traffic, and tossed at a cop who, in turn, boots him in the keister.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Milt Gross
Milt Gross was born in 1895, and was working as assistant to T.A. Dorgan (another who doesn't have much name recognition anymore except among comics historians, but was one of the top cartoonists of his day) when still in his teens.
In this graphic novel, Gross cheated a couple of times by putting words on signs and suchlike, and came very close to verbal language when he had a character, claiming to have personally witnessed events he'd just described, utter a word balloon containing a picture of an eye and a picture of a saw.
Gross suffered a heart attack in 1945, and thereafter went into semi-retirement.
