Uncle Wiggily's Adventures
· Sunday, October 11, 1925

A six-panel Sunday strip featuring Uncle Wiggily, a long-eared rabbit character in jacket and top hat, navigating domestic and outdoor misadventures. The narrative unfolds through sequential panels with speech balloons, depicting the character's encounters with other creatures and his attempts to manage family situations. The strip exemplifies the visual vocabulary that emerged in early newspaper comics: consistent character design, logical panel progression, and dialogue-driven humor. Created with pen and crosshatching, Uncle Wiggily represents the adventure comic strips of the 1920s that established recurring characters as reliable content for newspaper readers and eventually contributed foundational narrative structures to the developing comic book medium.
