Fluffy Ruffles

A Sunday newspaper comic strip by Wallace Morgan featuring Fluffy Ruffles, a young woman navigating military life at an armory. The strip employs multiple panels with speech balloons to unfold a narrative arc: Fluffy arrives to observe drill practice, catches the Colonel's attention, and inadvertently becomes "Sister of the Regiment"—earning the soldiers' admiration through her charm. Morgan's drawings establish recurring character types and use sequential panels to build comedic tension and romantic subplot. The strip exemplifies early twentieth-century newspaper comics that combined visual storytelling with prose-like humor, establishing conventions that would shape the medium for decades.
