It's Women's History Month...

... so here's another cartoon from the 1920s about women's fashion trends, by author/illustrator Ethel Hays. (Her self-titled cartoon series was syndicated to over 500 newspapers.)

It's Women's History Month...

 ... so here's a 100+ year-old cartoon about women's fashion trends, by cartoonist and children's books author/illustrator Ethel Hays.

Among Hays' creations were "Flapper Fanny Says" and her self-titled "Ethel" series, which were syndicated to over 500 newspapers during the 1920s and early 1930s. ("Flapper Fanny" appeared daily while "Ethel" was two or more times a week.)

Hays stepped away from newspaper cartooning to focus more on her children and family, but she continued to illustrate children's books.
