Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Sunday newspaper strip follows Uncle Wiggily, a rabbit character navigating domestic misadventures with his companions Nurse Jane and Mr. Hedgehog. Across nine panels, Lang Campbell's pen-and-ink drawings employ the established visual vocabulary of early comics: sequential panels, speech balloons, and expressive line work that conveys motion and personality. The narrative structure—episodic, comedic, resolved within the page—typifies the Sunday supplement format that dominated American newspapers in the 1920s. Uncle Wiggily strips were syndicated nationally, reaching millions of readers and helping establish the comic strip as a distinct medium between illustration and literature, with repeating characters and settings that encouraged reader loyalty.
