Kitty Khaki

A Sunday comic strip featuring a stylish young woman navigating wartime life without military enlistment. The four-panel layout tracks her attempts to acquire a wristwatch—a luxury item—through various schemes, contrasting her civilian concerns with the gravity of World War I. The strip employs the visual vocabulary pioneered by newspaper comics: distinct panels, expressive line work, speech balloons, and a recurring character whose personality drives the humor. Kitty's exaggerated expressions and gestures, rendered in bold ink and crosshatching, exemplify the cartooning style that evolved from the Sunday funnies into the visual language of modern comics.
