Advice d'Amour MARY WORTH "Doctor Ward's Secret" The LOST Sunday Strips

 September was Mary Worth  Month as We Presented...

...a comic reprinting a 1944 plotline from the newspaper strip which combined both daily and Sunday strips, but left out quite a bit of material due to redundancy!

We've since found the Sundays from that period, though, sadly, they're in b/w!
(Ironically, the dailies, which are published in b/w, were colored for the comic book!)
We now present them, along with links to the posts which feature the comic book pages they were adapted into!

Conclusion

We hope you've enjoyed our little "archeological dig" into the history of a still-popular soap opera strip!

Advice d'Amour DEAR BEATRICE FAIRFAX "Heck of a Thing for a Man to be Doing!"

Before Dear Abby...
Before Ann Landers...
(and I'll bet no reader under 40 knows who they are!)...

Cover by Alex Schomburg

...she was the original "Miss Lonely Hearts" newspaper columnist!

From 1898...

...to the 1960s, several writers using the Fairfax pseudonym offered advice to people at every stage of romantic entanglement from first dates to marriage to widowhood and divorce.

The column's popularity resulted in a radio show, an action-packed silent movie serial where "Beatrice" herself intervened personally in matters both romantic and criminal (Girls have always loved "bad boys"!), and this short-lived 1950-51 comic which dramatized some of her columns!

Now on with today's never-reprinted tale from Standard's Dear Beatrice Fairfax #5 (1950)!

Don't ya just love a happy ending?

Though the scripter (who may have been a King Features Syndicate writer assigned to the project) is unknown, the artist was Vernon Greene, whose work we've already seen HERE.
