Alice's Adventures in Funnyland

This Sunday comic strip adapts Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland* through six sequential panels, following young Alice through absurdist encounters with the Duchess and various creatures. The strip employs the visual vocabulary that defines early newspaper comics: bordered panels with varying compositions, speech balloons positioned to guide reading order, and recurring characters in escalating situations. The narrative unfolds left to right, top to bottom, establishing continuity across panels through Alice's persistent presence. The grayscale line work renders both fantastical elements and domestic spaces with equal clarity. As American newspapers expanded their Sunday editions in the 1890s and early 1900s, comic strips became essential features, drawing readers and advertising revenue while establishing the formal conventions—panel layout, dialogue integration, character consistency—that would become foundational to the emerging comic book medium.
