  Brother Sebastian was an American pantomime gag cartoon series, created by Chon Day. It ran from 1954 until 1971 in Look. The cartoons center on a spectacled Roman Catholic monk. All cartoons are one-panel and although occasionally signs are used there is no use of dialogue, making it a classic example of a pantomime comic.
