Don Quixote—Latest Presbyterian Edition

This satirical comic strip adapts Cervantes' *Don Quixote* through the visual language of newspaper comics: sequential panels, expressive line work, and labeled characters. A mounted figure in plumed helmet brandishes a shield marked "BIGOTRY" while riding toward a windmill labeled "Advanced Thought," with onlookers observing the chaos. The strip exemplifies how early comic artists employed recurring characters, speech balloons, and visual metaphor to tell sequential stories in the Sunday newspaper pages. By the 1910s–1920s, newspaper comics had become the primary vehicle for visual narrative in American print media, establishing conventions—panel borders, exaggeration, caricature—that would define comic books when they emerged as a distinct format in the 1930s.
