Fluffy Ruffles

A Sunday newspaper comic strip drawn by Wallace Morgan, *Fluffy Ruffles* follows the escapades of a mischievous child character through illustrated panels and accompanying verse. The strip demonstrates the formal vocabulary emerging in early newspaper comics: sequential panel layout, speech balloons, and recurring characters. Morgan's pen-and-ink style captures domestic comedy through detailed figure work and expressive linework. The narrative unfolds across multiple vignettes showing Fluffy's antics at a winter resort—disrupting formal dining, evading adults, and creating social chaos. This page exemplifies how newspaper Sunday comics of the 1900s blended visual storytelling with literary text, establishing conventions that would define the medium for decades to come.
