C.A. Voight's Betty is a real charmer. Betty was a Sunday only feature and Voight uses the full page to deliver some beautiful work. The humor is of the light hearted variety that seems to characterize those "girl" strips of the 20's, as the ad says "if you like girls in pretty clothes, humorous ideas well drawn--look for Betty every Sunday." We have fun at the beach, hi-jinx on the golf course, and hormones running wild in the office. Throw in some slap-stick with Betty's father and the bases are well covered.

Nancy is an American comic strip, originally written and drawn by Ernie Bushmiller and distributed by United Feature Syndicate and Andrews McMeel Syndication. Its origins lie in Fritzi Ritz, a strip Bushmiller inherited from its creator Larry Whittington in 1925. After Fritzi's niece Nancy was introduced in 1933, Fritzi Ritz evolved to focus more and more on Nancy instead of Fritzi. The new strip took the old one's daily slot, while Fritzi Ritz continued as a Sunday comic, with Nancy taking the Sunday slot previously filled by Bushmiller's Phil Fumble strip beginning on October 30, 1938.

The pages are in good condition, although wrinkles, tears, flaking and missing pieces may occur.
