Alphonse and Gaston in London

This six-panel Sunday strip follows two French gentlemen meeting the Earl of Chumley. The narrative unfolds through sequential panels with speech balloons, employing the visual grammar of early newspaper comics: numbered frames, recurring characters, and sight gags built on exaggerated body language and social mishap. The strip's humor derives from Alphonse and Gaston's obsessive politeness and misunderstandings. Published in the Sunday funnies during the medium's formative years, this work exemplifies how newspaper comic strips pioneered panel layout, character continuity, and visual storytelling conventions that would define the emerging comic book form.
