Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Sunday comic strip follows the misadventures of Uncle Wiggily, an elderly rabbit gentleman, and his young companions as they encounter a succession of dangers—alligators, snakes, and mechanical hazards—along a rural ladder and tree. The strip demonstrates the visual conventions that define early newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, recurring characters in episodic peril, and slapstick resolution. Created by Howard R. Garis and illustrated by Lang Campbell, *Uncle Wiggily* exemplifies how the Sunday newspaper page became the laboratory for comic storytelling, establishing narrative rhythm and character consistency that would shape the emerging medium of comic books.
