The Wonderland of Doo
The history of newspaper comic strips is replete with many oddities.An excellent blog on the topic, with almost daily posts, is STRIPPER'S GUIDE.
Here's one creation that has received very little attention, based on its scarcity of Google hits. Its creator was Arch Dale.
Each instance featured a big block of text, which I am omitting, save for one sample.
This survey is by no means complete, just a taste.
The strips were also collected in book form.

Tapioca Tundra
In honor of the recently departed Michael Nesmith, one of the Monkees' weirder songs.Reasoned verse some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times
And waiting hopes cast silent spells
That speak in clouded clues
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's part of you
Sunshine, rag time, blowing in the breeze
Midnight looks right standing more at ease
Silhouettes and figures stay
Close to what he had to say
And one more time the faded dream
Is saddened by the news
It cannot be a part of me
For now it's a part of you

And the Villain Still Pursued Her; Or, The Writer’s Dream (1906)
The movie in questions starts at minute 32:00.
Essay about it here.
And the Villain Still Pursued Her; Or, The Writer’s Dream joins that rarified company of “What in the name of heaven did I just watch?” films.
