I recently ran across these newspaper panels my mother had cut out and colored with crayons in her day, the 1920's. (I am still looking through the stuff my mother saved from her childhood!) These clippings have the name "Faith Burrows" in the top lefthand corner, and "1929 King Features Syndicate, Inc." at the bottom. According to info I found by Googling, this series was called "Flapper Filosofy,"and featured girls in the latest fashions of the day.

Does anyone besides me remember the "Modest Maidens" one-panel comic strip that appeared daily in the Marion Star, our local newspaper in the 1940's and 1950's? I remember them because as a girl I used to cut them out and paint them with water colors. I found this sample of "Modest Maidens" on the internet, but I never saved any of them for 60 years!
This makes me wonder--do you suppose that one day as a child I complained to my mother that I was bored, and she suggested coloring the black and white comics in the newspaper, as that was what she did as a girl? Hmmm....

How great to be able to go through all of the old things that were your mom's when she was a girl. So special!
