Alice's Adventures in Funnyland

This Sunday page follows Alice and companions exploring the moon's landscape, discovering giant eggs in a surreal environment. The six-panel layout uses speech balloons and sequential narration to build comic situations—a girl finds eggs, adults debate their origins, and chaos erupts when the eggs hatch. The strip employs the visual conventions pioneered in 1890s newspaper comics: panel borders to organize action, recurring characters, and escalating gags. Published in the Sunday funnies when newspapers competed for readers through illustrated humor, this strip demonstrates how the medium's formal language—panels, balloons, character consistency—developed directly from the newspaper page itself, establishing visual grammar that would define comic books.
