notes: label: Description
content: "Fritzi Ritz" began as a soap-opera style comic strip in 1922, created by Larry Wittington, a famed cartoonist of the time. He left the strip in 1925 to Ernie Bushmiller (1905-1982), who successfully turned the strip into a daily and Sunday feature. By 1933, Bushmiller had written in Fritzi's neice Nancy as a main character, and Fritzi Ritz became a background character in the "Nancy" series, which continues to be distributed today by United Feature Syndicate. In this strip, Fritzi is cleaning the house when her boyfriend Phil Fumble interrupts to watch the game. Fritzi makes Phil wash dishes while he watches the TV.
