Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

Howard R. Garis's *Uncle Wiggily* ran as a newspaper comic strip featuring the eponymous rabbit character and his animal companions in a series of woodland adventures. This Sunday page, illustrated by Landon Cody, demonstrates the visual storytelling conventions that became fundamental to comics: multiple panels advancing a continuous narrative, speech balloons carrying dialogue, and recurring characters in episodic plots. The strip's structure—combining domestic humor with outdoor escapades—typified the humor pages that dominated early twentieth-century newspapers and established patterns later adopted by comic books. Garis's prolific output across multiple media helped popularize the serialized animal character format during comics' foundational period.
