    Cover by Gladys Parker. Stories and art by Gladys Parker and Pete Field. 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 tries to change her image to impress handsome Tony, who claims he likes smart, modest women, in a four-page story. Knitting a sweater for her dog turns out to be more challenging than Mopsy thought. When a woman loses weight after a steam bath, Mopsy decides the same will work for her clothes. Plus "Mopsy Modes" paper dolls, showcasing the fashions of the era. Mopsy; Mopsy Modes; Pixie; Gag-Bag; Comedy Column. Final issue of the series. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
