    Mopsy (1948) 2
    Published 1948 by St. John.

    Cover by Gladys Parker. Stories and art by Gladys Parker, Fred Neher and Clayton Cole. One of the first female-centric comic strips, by pioneering female artist Gladys Parker, Mopsy combines an Ever Meulen art style with pantomime-style gags and good-girl art. Mopsy has to break her date with Rick to hang out with the boss's nerdy son Mortimer, so she decides to date both at once. The date goes down at the history museum, with help from a friendly mummy. Mopsy turns an eviction into a sidewalk cafe, perhaps the ultimate in making the best of a bad situation. The backup strip, Fred Neher's Some Punkins, is a one-panel gag strip that also features good-girl art. Plus "Mopsy Modes" paper dolls, showcasing the fashions of the era. Who Stole That Kiss?; Mopsy; Some Punkins; Mopsy Modes; Going to the Dogs. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
