Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Sunday page follows Uncle Wiggily, an anthropomorphic rabbit gentleman, through a series of misadventures involving tennis, automobiles, and encounters with Nurse Jane. The strip uses the visual vocabulary that had become standard in newspaper comics: multiple panels arranged in grid sequence, speech balloons carrying dialogue, and recurring characters in domestic and outdoor settings. Created by Howard R. Garis with illustrations by Lang Campbell, *Uncle Wiggily* exemplified the newspaper comic strip format that emerged in the 1900s—serialized humor distributed across the nation's Sunday pages and dailies. The strip's episodic structure, sight gags, and verbal punchlines established patterns that would define American comic narrative for decades.
