    Cover by Gladys Parker. Stories and art by Gladys Parker and Connie Williams. 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 accidentally bites her dentist, but she thinks that's a good thing. Mopsy offers to buy dinner rather than washing dishes. Mopsy experiments with "liquid stockings" - makeup to simulate stockings during wartime nylon shortages. Plus "Mopsy Modes" paper dolls, showcasing the fashions of the era. Mopsy; Mopsy Modes; And She Shall Look Sweet; The Weeding Out. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
