Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Sunday page from Howard R. Garis's *Uncle Wiggily* strips shows the rabbit protagonist in sequential adventures with animal friends—a format that brought narrative continuity to newspaper comics. The recurring cast (Jimmie Soodlebobble, Neddie Stubtail, the Skeezicks) and episodic plots made the strip ideal for both daily and Sunday serialization. By the 1920s, *Uncle Wiggily* appeared in over 300 papers. Lang Campbell's illustrative crosshatching and panel layouts exemplify the visual storytelling conventions—varied panel sizes, speech balloons, action sequences—that transformed newspaper comics into a distinct medium and laid groundwork for the comic book form.
