Friends, this is the last "Gay and Her Gang," you'll need to get your Gay and Smack elsewhere. The comic didn't run long:

wikipedia posted:

After drawing the flapper strip Gay and Her Gang in 1928-29, she took over Ethel Hays' Flapper Fanny Says panel, which she did for NEA from 1930 to 1936.

Next up, some Flapper Fanny Says, hopefully followed by her own strip, "Mopsy," which was her biggest hit.

wikipedia posted:

Developing Mopsy in 1939, Parker modeled the character on herself. In 1946, she recalled, "I got the idea for Mopsy when the cartoonist Rube Goldberg said my hair looked like a mop. That was several years ago, and she has been my main interest ever since."

I don't think I ever commented on it, but I did love Gay and Her Gang and I'm sad it didn't go longer. Thanks for posting it.

Also, I want to say that every time I read Good Time Guy I enjoy it, but it's wordy enough that I tend to skip it and go right to Gay and Her Gang and I feel bad about it.

That mark trail storyline is ripping off indiana jones and the last crusade.

It seems like the older comics here, besides ballard street, are actually the better ones too.

Except for the fat nerdy woman this artist draws every one of their women with shapely bodies and weird featureless babyfaces that dont match the rest of the body. Also all of their faces are identical, as opposed to the male characters who have pretty good variety in features and bodies.

The Phantom


Well, what's the alternative if you're... whatever the king guy's name is? This nation is apparently small and unstable enough that one angry dude is a legitimate threat to the throne, and one other angry dude with a dogwolf can put that guy down. You can't just give him a stern warning and let him go. You can let him rot in prison, I suppose, but if he ever gets out he's a danger again. Even in prison, he's hanging out with a bunch of other people who likely aren't too fond of the king; a prison break could be disastrous. Exiling him is an option, but exiles can raise an army and come back. As king, you don't want people thinking they can just go around plotting against you and you're fine with it. So what do you do about it, Phantom? Put him in a cage in the deep woods to be gawked at by natives for the rest of his life?

Surprise, surprise! We better get Mike Rowe in here because being the dictator of a small Euro-African nation-state is a dirty job.

You can almost bring me to believe that Tiff has hair clippers because she's shown aptitude for styling hair in the past.

No way in hell does Bernice have hair clippers. She has a hairbrush and a comb. If she wants a haircut she goes to a salon or she preys on Tiff's hunger for simple human kindness to get her to do her hair for her. The closest thing Bern has to clippers is a regular pair of scissors. The only thing she has that's designed for cutting hair is a pink Venus razor. Don't you tell me she could borrow from her roomie; Dez doesn't even have the razor.

Flapper Fanny Says (April, 1930, The Milwaukee Journal)

wikipedia posted:


Flapper Fanny Says from Newspaper Enterprise Association was a single-panel daily cartoon series starting in about 1924, with a Sunday page following in 1928. Each episode featured a flapper illustration and a witticism. It continued into the 1940s as Flapper Fanny.
...
Despite this immediate success, Hays—finding the daily workload too heavy after the birth of her second child—turned Flapper Fanny Says over to promising newcomer Gladys Parker around 1931. Parker gave it a "more cartoony style", and her flapper protagonists came to resemble the artist herself. Parker began drawing her own creation Mopsy in 1939 (also in her own image), but she seems to have relinquished Flapper Fanny Says to Sylvia Sneidman by 1937 or earlier.
Actually, Parker started in 1930, but you were close, Wikipedia.
