Modish Mitzi

This Sunday strip follows Mitzi, a young woman navigating fashion and social life in the 1920s. The four-panel sequence uses the visual grammar pioneered by newspaper comics: distinct panels advancing a single gag, speech balloons revealing character thoughts, and recurring figures. The artist employs profile and three-quarter views to convey expression and movement. The humor turns on Mitzi's practical sense—she rejects empty fashion advice from an acquaintance, mentally cataloging the absurdities of ladies' hat styles. The strip exemplifies how newspaper comics of this era combined visual storytelling with contemporary social observation, using recurring characters to build audience familiarity and investment across daily and Sunday publications.
