Betty

This Sunday page follows Betty and her father on a skiing excursion, tracking the physical comedy across nine panels. The strip employs the visual vocabulary of early newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, repeated character poses, and slapstick gags building toward escalating disaster. Betty's father tumbles down the slope while she attempts instruction; a coach and passing skier complicate matters further. The sketchy, energetic linework captures motion and snow landscapes typical of 1920s comic art. *Betty* represents the weekly Sunday adventure strips that populated American newspapers, establishing recurring characters and narrative continuity that would become foundational to comic-strip storytelling and eventually the comic book form.
