Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Sunday page follows Uncle Wiggily, a rabbit gentleman, and his monkey companion Jumpo through a garden adventure involving a hose, a nozzle, and a water-soaked mishap. Text by Howard R. Garis and pictures by Lang Campbell, the strip deploys sequential panels with speech balloons to narrate episodic, slapstick humor. Uncle Wiggily was among the earliest recurring animal characters in American newspapers, appearing in syndicated dailies and Sunday supplements. The strip's visual vocabulary—panel borders, expressive silhouettes, and dialogue-driven narrative—helped establish the formal grammar that would define comic strips and, eventually, comic books as a medium.
