Alice Borrows the Duchess Furs

This Sunday comic strip adapts Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland* for the newspaper page, following Alice as she borrows furs from a duchess and encounters various comic misadventures. The strip demonstrates the visual conventions that defined early newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, recurring characters, and sight gags building across a narrative sequence. Published in the Sunday supplement tradition that flourished in the early 1900s, such strips were among the first mass-produced sequential narratives. The artist employs bold blacks and clear panel borders to guide readers through the story, establishing the visual grammar that would become foundational to comic art.
