The Adventures of Patsy—Simply Ripping, Wot?

A four-panel gag strip following Patsy's search for her missing landlord, Mr. Wiggs. When she hears commotion in his room, Patsy discovers Bizbi—a character whose shirts have all shrunk—causing chaos. The strip exemplifies the newspaper comic's evolution: recurring characters, sequential visual storytelling across panels, and verbal-visual gags delivered through speech balloons. The crisp line work and exaggerated expressions follow conventions established by earlier Sunday page strips. Patsy strips appeared in dailies and weeklies, part of the popular humor comics that preceded and informed the emergence of comic books as a distinct medium.
