Flapper Fanny

A newspaper comic strip following the adventures of Fanny, a young woman navigating social life, dating, and domestic situations. The strip employs the visual vocabulary established by earlier comics: sequential panels, speech balloons, and recurring characters in episodic narratives. Each strip builds gags through character interaction and situational humor—here, Fanny's romantic prospects and social scheming. The artwork uses clear line work and economical figures typical of Sunday page illustration. *Flapper Fanny* exemplifies how comic strips became the primary venue for humor and serialized storytelling in American newspapers, reaching millions of readers daily and establishing conventions that would define the medium for decades.
