Betty

A Sunday strip following Betty through domestic comedy and social outings. The narrative unfolds across nine panels, tracking Betty from her dressing room through an evening at an artists' ball, where costume confusion and romantic misunderstanding drive the humor. C. A. Voight's artwork employs the visual conventions now standard to newspaper comics: sequential panels with clear borders, speech balloons for dialogue, and recurring character expressions that convey personality. The strip exemplifies the Sunday page format that flourished in early twentieth-century newspapers—serialized humor strips that entertained millions daily and established the visual language later adopted by comic books. Betty's reliance on situational comedy and recognizable social settings reflects the period's comics, which drew humor from contemporary urban life and courtship rituals.
