label: Description (Brief)
content: Paul Dowling Robinson (1898-1974) began his work as a cartoonist in New York in 1919. He worked on the <i>Samson and Delia</i> strip in 1924 and then in 1925 debuted <i>Etta Kett,</i> about the life of contemporary teenagers, which became a daily and a Sunday comic strip. Robinson also drew a strip called <i>The Love-Byrds,</i> which started out as a topper (or secondardy strip) for the Sunday page of <i>Etta Kett.</i> He drew both strips until his death in 1974.
label: Description (Brief)
content: <i>Etta Kett</i> (1925-1974) began as a comic panel series about manners and etiquette. It was later redeveloped as a comic strip about a middle-class teenage girl named Etta and her high school adventures with friends and boyfriends. The main character, Etta, continued to be described as innocent and well-mannered in the face of conspicuous societal changes.
