# How do Lutz's (1920) cartoon-plot and gag rules line up with the photoplay-manual comedy rules already in the batch (C3-B036-S10-05, -06), and what checklist can an agent use to plan a short animated gag sequence?

Compared by candidate ID only: Lutz's cumulative chain and his remark that the early string of incidents no longer suffices match the photoplay manuals' failure mode of loosely connected incident chains (S10-05); his chase around an object as a 'never-failing' gag sits beside, rather than against, that warning if the chase is made to escalate. His anticipation-then-hit pattern (stone and hat) is compatible with Sargent's anticipation then surprise (S10-06). The comparison is limited to the prior rows' summaries and quoted phrases. The closing agent check restates Lutz's practice (labelled 1920 practice) and adds clearly marked proposals; none of it is tested.

Curator qualifications: Comparison by ID; checklist items 7-9 and L10 experiment are proposals.

Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
