Betty - Sunday Funny Papers 1919 No 1 from Chuck Thompson

Our Sunday comic strip for the week is this vintage piece from 1919.  Betty was a short run strip that lasted about 3 months long and that was it.  It was over.  There are about 11 known strips.  We will try and get to more in the future with this one.  It's always interesting to look at what was considered funny back in earlier times and what was the sentiment of the day.  This gives you part of that picture. Enjoy.

Angel Face - Sunday Funnies

Angel Face was a short run series of comics found in the Sunday funny papers and ran for less than one year.  Angel Face was a little girl who was notorious for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.  In the above example this is not the case, but what makes this one little piece funny is that all the children are playing Davy Crockett who, during the 1950's, was a very popular character.  Catch sunday funnies every Sunday right here on GVLN.
