Sweetie Pie

Nadine Seltzer wrote and drew all three issues of Sweetie Pie, a short-lived 1950s series from Berkley Books. The comic follows the misadventures of a young woman navigating work, romance, and friendships with a light comedic touch. Seltzer’s clean, expressive art and warm humor give this series a distinctive voice in the romance-comedy genre of the era. While brief, Sweetie Pie is a charming snapshot of mid-century feminine life as filtered through a single creator’s playful perspective.
