Fluffy Ruffles

Drawings by Wallace Morgan, verse by Charles Battell Loomis. This Sunday page follows Fluffy Ruffles through a sequence of winter misadventures: capturing a burglar, viewing the Hudson River, and a midnight confrontation involving a revolver and a Bishop. The strip employs the sequential panel layout and integrated text-image storytelling that defined early newspaper comics. Morgan's ink drawings establish character through gesture and expression, while Loomis's narrative verse drives plot across numbered scenes. The recurring character of Fluffy—resourceful and quick-witted—anchors the episodic humor across multiple panels, demonstrating how newspaper strips built audience investment through familiar protagonists encountering fresh situations each week.
