Militant Mary

A single-panel comic strip featuring Mary, a determined woman in glasses and a long dress, confronting a banker about overdraft fees. The strip's humor rests on her aggressive stance and blunt ultimatum: her bank must permit withdrawals without penalty, or she'll take her business elsewhere. The simple line art, speech balloon, and direct confrontation between recurring character and authority figure exemplify early newspaper comic conventions that shaped the medium's visual language and comedic timing.
