    Cover by Gladys Parker. Stories and art by Gladys Parker and others. 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. When Mopsy's hat is too big for the movie theater, she finds a solution that is both stylish and polite. Mopsy tires of rapidly changing fashion styles, and sets out to fix things with her own scissors. Bored with her filing job, Mopsy joins the WACs (Women's Army Corps) and gets a boring filing assignment. Mopsy; Gag-Bag; Comedy Column. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
