Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Sunday newspaper strip by Howard R. Garis and Lang Campbell follows the escapades of Uncle Wiggily, an elderly rabbit gentleman, and his animal friends—Billy Bunny, Billie, Jackie, and others—as they navigate comic misadventures in the countryside. The strip employs the visual vocabulary that defined early newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, expressive silhouette figures, and slapstick action across multiple tiers. Recurring characters and running gags sustained reader interest across daily installments. Such strips anchored the Sunday newspaper pages and formed the foundation of what would become the comic book industry.
