The Adventures of Kitty Cobb

James Montgomery Flagg's *Kitty Cobb* serial ran in Sunday newspapers as a sequence of illustrated panels, each advancing a continuous narrative. Here, episode XVI depicts a wedding breakfast scene with multiple characters in formal dress, employing the visual conventions that defined early newspaper comics: sequential panels, expressive line work, and dialogue integrated into the composition. The strip's integration of advertising—Perfect Ice Cream appears as a product placement rather than separate commercial—reflects how Sunday comics pages functioned as both entertainment and commercial space. Flagg's work exemplified the visual language developed through 1890s newspaper strips, where recurring characters and panel-to-panel storytelling became the foundation for what would evolve into the comic book medium.
