Alice Exhibits Her Phonograph

This Sunday strip adaptation transforms Lewis Carroll's *Alice in Wonderland* into topical comedy, with Alice demonstrating a phonograph to Wonderland residents. The six-panel layout shows the machine's debut, technical mishaps, and comedic confusion over the recorded voice—a common gag in early twentieth-century newspaper comics. The strip exemplifies how the Sunday funnies borrowed literary characters and adapted them for immediate audience recognition. Speech balloons, sequential panel progression, and recurring character types were visual conventions solidifying in newspaper strips during this period, establishing the visual grammar that would structure comic books for decades to come.
