From the exhibition
School Days and Ophelia
· February 20, 1910
This Sunday page combines multiple comic narratives across its panels: a classroom lesson on guessing games, a witch character with a jigger, the *Daily Sunbeam* newspaper within the strip, and the character Ophelia on the right. The layout demonstrates early newspaper comics' use of recurring characters, speech balloons, and sequential panel arrangement. The strip employs visual gags alongside wordplay and educational humor typical of children's comics in the 1910s. The dense composition and variety of vignettes reflect how Sunday pages expanded the daily strip format into full-page spectacles designed to draw readers to the comics section.
