Etta Kett

Etta Kett, a long-running newspaper comic strip by Paul Robinson, was given a brief but notable two-issue comic book series in 1949 by Better Publications of Canada. Centered on the wholesome, humorous misadventures of its titular teenage girl and her family, the strip had already charmed readers for years before this short-lived comic adaptation. While the series itself is a minor footnote in the character’s decades-long history, it captures a slice of mid-century domestic comedy from a creator who defined Etta Kett’s gentle, gag-a-day world.
