The Adventures of Kitty Cobb

James Montgomery Flagg's *Kitty Cobb* appeared as a serial picture-story in the Sunday newspaper pages, following the theatrical misadventures of its titular character. This panel shows Kitty confronting a man named "Johnny" after a theater performance, with supporting characters witnessing the encounter. Flagg's ink-line style and sequential panel arrangement typify early newspaper comics, which established the visual vocabulary—speech balloons, expressive figure work, and narrative progression—that would define the medium. Sunday comics like this were drawing innovations from vaudeville, theater, and illustration traditions into a distinctly American form that would eventually evolve into the modern comic book.
