Betty

C. A. Voight's *Betty* follows a young woman navigating domestic life and social situations through overlapping dialogue and physical comedy. This Sunday strip demonstrates the visual language that newspapers had developed by the 1910s: sequential panels advancing a narrative, speech balloons containing character voices, and recurring domestic settings. Betty's memory of wedding day mishaps unfolds across nine panels, building comic momentum through escalating complications. The strip exemplifies how newspaper comics evolved from simple gag formats into sustained character-driven narratives, establishing the panel structure and visual pacing that would become foundational to comic book design.
