Alice's Adventures in Funnyland

This Sunday page adapts Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland* for the newspaper comics section, introducing young readers to serialized adventure through recurring characters and visual gags. The strip employs the formal panel grid and speech balloons that had become standard in the 1890s newspaper pages, where comic narratives unfolded across multiple frames. Here, Alice encounters the Duchess in a sequence of physical comedy—a chase, an escape attempt, and finally entrapment—that relies on exaggerated body language and slapstick timing to convey narrative momentum without reliance on text alone. The artist uses line weight and spatial perspective to distinguish characters and guide the reader's eye through the action, techniques foundational to early comic strip language.
