Fluffy Ruffles

A Sunday newspaper comic strip drawn by Wallace Morgan, *Fluffy Ruffles* follows a young girl through episodic adventures—traveling to Virginia, losing baggage at the station, encountering strangers. Each panel advances the narrative through speech balloons and sequential illustration, a format that became foundational to comic storytelling. The strip's layout demonstrates the visual vocabulary emerging in early 1900s newspaper comics: bordered panels, varied composition, and character expressions that carry emotional weight. Morgan's pen technique, bold linework, and gestural figures typify the illustrative style that shaped the medium before the rise of comic books.
