Cynthianna Blythe

A Sunday newspaper comic strip drawn by Wallace Morgan with verses by Harry Grant Dart. The narrative follows Cynthianna and her social circle through a seaside outing, told across eight numbered panels arranged in a grid layout. Morgan's pen-and-ink style captures physical comedy and gesture through loose, expressive linework. Speech balloons and numbered stanzas guide readers through sequential scenes: society matrons at leisure, beachgoers wading and dancing, and social mishaps involving a young woman named Freddy. The strip exemplifies early 1900s newspaper comics, where artists and writers collaborated to create serialized humor for Sunday editions—a format that established visual conventions later central to comic books.
