Fritzi Ritz Comics

Ernie Bushmiller’s Fritzi Ritz Comics is a five-issue comic book series from United Feature Syndicate, running from 1949 onward, that spotlights the glamorous and resourceful title character. Best known for Bushmiller’s crisp, gag-driven cartooning, the series expands on the popular newspaper strip, presenting Fritzi in self-contained adventures that showcase her wit and charm. While brief in its run, it stands as a key artifact of Bushmiller’s clean-line humor and the enduring appeal of one of comics’ early leading ladies.
