A parade of children winds past churches and tall trees, and the caption on this color Sunday page declares that "it was such a fine day for a parade." The page is from Lyonel Feininger's *Wee Willie Winkie's World*, which ran in the *Chicago Sunday Tribune* in 1906 and 1907. Before Feininger became a painter and a teacher at the Bauhaus in Germany, he drew for the paper, and these pages show the dreamlike streets, stretched shadows, and leaning architecture that set his comics apart from the slapstick common at the time.
