Betty

A Sunday strip featuring the mischievous Betty and her companion Lester, set against snowy winter scenes. The narrative follows their ski outing and encounter with a bear, rendered in C. A. Voight's energetic pen style. Speech balloons drive the humor through rapid exchanges and physical comedy—Betty's impudent remarks and the adults' exasperated reactions. The strip exemplifies the newspaper Sunday comic's visual language: multiple tiers, varied panel sizes, expressive caricature, and sequential action that builds gags across frames. By 1920, such strips had become daily reading for millions, establishing narrative techniques and character recurrence that would define the emerging comic book medium.
