Alice and the Duchess Arrive on the Moon

This Sunday comic strip adapts Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland*, translating the Victorian novel into the visual language emerging in newspaper supplements. Six panels follow Alice and companions through lunar adventure, using speech balloons, sequential panel borders, and exaggerated character expressions to pace narrative and comedy. The strip demonstrates how early 1900s cartoonists repurposed literary classics for mass newspaper audiences, establishing the visual grammar—recurring characters, dialogue boxes, panel progression—that would define American comics for decades. Sunday supplements like this one, printed in full color and distributed nationally, formed the commercial and creative foundation from which the comic book industry would develop.
