Cynthianna Blythe

A Sunday newspaper comic strip drawn by Wallace Morgan with verse by Harry Grant Dart. The narrative follows Cynthianna's misadventure when her hoopstick rolls into a city street, drawing a crowd of boys, plumbers, businessmen, and onlookers. Morgan's ink line work organizes the story across six numbered panels of varying scale, from intimate character moments to a expansive final scene of urban chaos. Speech balloons and poetic captions anchor each episode. This strip exemplifies the Sunday page format that established the visual and narrative conventions—sequential panels, recurring characters, sight gags, and integrated text—that became foundational to American comic art.
