Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

Howard R. Garis's *Uncle Wiggily* populated the Sunday newspaper pages with an elderly rabbit gentleman and a cast of animal characters caught in gentle misadventures. Illustrated by Lang Campbell, the strip demonstrates the visual vocabulary of early newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, recurring characters, and slapstick humor. The narrative unfolds across multiple tiers, with busy compositions and expressive linework typical of 1920s Sunday supplements. *Uncle Wiggily* ran for decades in American newspapers, establishing the format through which millions encountered comics before the modern comic book emerged from reprinted Sunday pages.
