Betty

C. A. Voight's *Betty* strips follow a young woman through a series of automotive mishaps and romantic entanglements. In this Sunday page, Betty and her suitor become entangled with newlyweds, a detective, and various bystanders in a chase sequence triggered by a speeding car. Voight employs the visual conventions of early newspaper comics: multiple panels arranged in rows, speech balloons, sequential action across frames, and exaggerated expressions to convey comedy. The strip exemplifies the Sunday funny pages of the 1910s–20s, when serialized characters and situational humor appeared in newspapers nationwide, establishing narrative techniques that would become fundamental to comic book storytelling.
