Alice's Adventures in Funnyland

This Sunday newspaper strip adapts Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland* into six sequential panels, following Alice's encounter with the Duchess over chewing gum. The artist employs the visual conventions that were becoming standard in early comics: panel gutters that separate moments in time, speech balloons anchored to characters, and consistent character design across panels. The strip's narrative unfolds left-to-right, top-to-bottom, establishing story progression through image and dialogue. Early-1900s newspaper comics like this one developed the visual grammar—panels, balloons, recurring characters—that would define the medium. Artists working in the Sunday pages pioneered techniques that later became foundational to comic books themselves.
