Uncle Wiggily's Adventures

Uncle Wiggily, the long-eared rabbit protagonist, embarks on a mechanical mishap with Nurse Jane's rocking chair. This Sunday page strips follows the character through nine panels of slapstick comedy—wheels attached, crashes engineered, and chaos multiplied. Text by Howard R. Garis and pictures by Lang Campbell, the strip exemplifies the newspaper comic's narrative economy: recurring characters, sequential panels with speech balloons, visual gags building across frames. The Sunday page format allowed for expanded storytelling beyond the dailies, establishing the visual and narrative conventions that would become foundational to American comic books.
