Uncle Mun
· August 21, 1910

This Sunday page follows Uncle Mun's chaotic visit with a family, tracking his misadventures across ten panels arranged in the standard newspaper strip grid. The narrative unfolds through speech balloons and sequential action: arrival at the household, butter mishaps, children escaping into the yard, a roof-top chase, and final domestic chaos. The strip employs the visual conventions developed by newspaper cartoonists of the era—recurring characters, panel-to-panel continuity, and sight gags dependent on drawn action rather than text alone. By 1910, the Sunday comic page had become a standard newspaper feature, establishing the visual language that would define comic books decades later.
