Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

This Halloween-themed strip follows Uncle Wiggily, a long-eared rabbit gentleman, through a series of pranks and mishaps orchestrated by animal children. The narrative unfolds across nine panels in a clear sequential format, establishing the strip's trademark structure: recurring characters, sight gags built on physical comedy, and dialogue balloons that anchor each scene's action. Howard R. Garis wrote the stories while Landon Campbell illustrated; together they pioneered the visual vocabulary of newspaper comics—panel progression, character consistency, and integrated text-and-image storytelling—that would become foundational to the medium itself. The strip ran in newspapers nationwide, reaching millions of readers daily and Sunday.
