Alice Meets Galulu Gouchee, the Terrible Magician

This newspaper comic strip adapts Lewis Carroll's Alice for the Sunday funnies, combining literary source material with visual gags developed in early comics. The six-panel sequence uses the grid layout and speech balloons that became standard in newspaper strips, following Alice as she encounters a magician character. The artist employs stark black-and-white contrast and exaggerated proportions typical of turn-of-the-century newspaper comics. Recurring characters and serialized narratives in the Sunday pages established the framework that would define comic books—paneled sequences, word-image integration, and episodic storytelling that invited readers to follow adventures across multiple installments.
