Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Sunday newspaper strip follows Uncle Wiggily, an anthropomorphic rabbit protagonist, through a domestic comedy involving a failed egg-beating experiment. Drawn by Lang Campbell with text by Howard R. Garis, the strip employs the sequential panel structure and speech balloons that defined early comic narratives. The humor turns on slapstick mishaps—spilled eggs, chaotic kitchen scenes, and physical comedy—rendered in energetic line work. Uncle Wiggily strips appeared in newspapers nationwide during the 1920s, part of the Sunday supplement tradition that established recurring characters, visual gags across multiple panels, and the basic grammar of comic storytelling that would evolve into the comic book format.
