Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Sunday page follows Uncle Wiggily, a gentlemanly rabbit, through a pastoral landscape populated by animal friends—a goat, monkey, and various creatures engaged in slapstick mishaps. The strip's nine panels establish a narrative flow across the page, using silhouette figures and dense crosshatching typical of early newspaper comics. Text blocks below each panel advance the plot in sequential fashion. Created by Howard R. Garis with illustrations by Lang Campbell, *Uncle Wiggily* exemplified the newspaper comic strip's golden age: serialized adventure stories designed for Sunday supplements that drove circulation and established recurring characters as cultural fixtures. The strip's visual grammar—panel borders, speech integration, and character consistency—became foundational to comic-strip language that persists today.
