    Published Mar 1950 by St. John.

    Cover by Gladys Parker. Stories and art by Gladys Parker and Gracie Allen. 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. Mopsy decides to give herself a home perm, causing a meter-reader to think she's a ghostly spirit, and a talent agent to think she's a comedian. Thinking that she's found a poem Wally wrote for another girl, Kitty goes out with nerdy Rodney Bookmark to get back at Wally. Rather than fix a dent in her car, Mopsy sets out to make the rest of the car match it. Plus a three-page text piece written by comedy legend Gracie Allen of the Burns & Allen vaudeville duo. Mopsy; Kitty: How Do I Love Thee?; Bon Voyage. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
