Carrie by Wood Cowan

This Sunday page from *Carrie* follows a group of young women organizing a literary club. The strip's narrative unfolds across nine panels using speech balloons and sequential action: members propose classic texts for discussion, debate which book to feature, and settle on a cookbook for their first meeting. Wood Cowan's pen-and-ink style renders figures with expressive gestures typical of 1920s newspaper comics. The strip exemplifies how Sunday pages built narrative momentum through panel progression—a visual grammar newspapers pioneered that would become foundational to comic books. *Carrie* populated the Sunday funny pages with domestic comedy centered on female characters and their social activities.
