Betty

C. A. Voight's *Betty* follows a young working-class woman through her daily encounters: domestic service, streetside meetings, ice skating, and social gatherings. The strip employs the visual conventions established by newspaper comics in the 1910s—sequential panels, speech balloons, and expressive line work—to capture modest humor in ordinary life. Rather than elaborate gags or fantastic scenarios, *Betty* derives comedy from Betty's interactions with family, strangers, and suitors. The strip's style reflects the efficient draftsmanship required for daily newspaper production, with bold blacks and economical cross-hatching defining form and mood across multiple scenes.
