Modish Mitzi
· September 19, 1925

This Sunday page follows Mitzi as she shops for fall suits, a narrative device that allows the strip to showcase fashion commentary and social observation. The strip employs the sequential panel structure standard to newspaper comics of the 1920s, with speech balloons advancing plot and character voice across six frames. The artwork demonstrates the clean line work and figure-focused composition typical of fashion-oriented comic strips of the era. *Modish Mitzi* used recurring characters and domestic scenarios to appeal to readers interested in contemporary style and consumer culture, genres that proved popular in the newspaper Sunday pages that established visual conventions later adopted by comic books.
