Out Our Way was one of the classic single panel slice-of-life strips that originated back in the 1920s. These few examples are all from 1925.
These really deserve the label of Americana, offering a wonderful snapshot of the kind of small scale events that defined life in espeially small town America (or at least, what we'd want to believe such life was like).
The strips focusing on kids are especially favorites of mine. They represent a view of childhood that's tough to capture in popular culture without coming off overly sweet or exaggerated. In that way, they kind of remind me of the best
Little Rascals movies which depicted kids just being kids.
