Alice's Adventures in Funnyland

This Sunday comic strip adapts Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland* for newspaper readers, following Alice and the Duchess on an absurdist journey toward the moon. The strip employs the visual vocabulary crystallizing in early 1900s Sunday pages: sequential panels advancing narrative, speech balloons for dialogue, and exaggerated character design. The tall vertical format suited newspaper layout demands of the era, while the fantastical premise allowed artists to explore the medium's capacity for impossible spaces and logic. Such literary adaptations in the funny pages introduced millions of readers to comic strip narrative before the medium developed its own original properties.
