Fluffy Ruffles

A Sunday newspaper comic by Wallace Morgan featuring Fluffy Ruffles and her companions Traddies and Aunt Mary in an encounter with a Bengal tiger at the city zoo. The strip employs the visual conventions that defined early newspaper comics: sequential panels arranged across the page, speech balloons for dialogue, and recurring child characters in comedic predicaments. Morgan's pen-and-ink style captures action through dynamic postures and expressive line work. The narrative unfolds through slapstick humor—the tiger escapes its cage, chaos ensues, and Fluffy must outwit the beast. These Sunday pages were essential to the birth of comic strips as a distinct medium, establishing the grammar of sequential art that would evolve into the comic book form.
