Alice's Adventures in Funnyland: Alice and the Hatter

This Sunday comic strip adapts Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland* for newspaper readers, featuring Alice and the Mad Hatter in a storefront sequence. The six-panel layout demonstrates early comic strip conventions: sequential panels, speech balloons, and visual gags built across frames. A cat's mischief drives the narrative momentum. The strip exemplifies how newspaper comics inherited visual language from sequential art traditions while developing distinctly modern storytelling through panel arrangement and character repetition. Sunday newspaper color comics like this became the primary vehicle for visual narrative in early twentieth-century America, directly influencing the development of comic book format.
