Gladys Parker started with her comic strip Gay and Her Gang in the 1920s, and continued in comics by taking over the Ethel Hays’ strip Flapper Fanny in 1932 and provided a more cartoony look to the series. In the late 1930s she left Flapper Fanny and created Mopsy in 1939. Mopsy featured a girl, who looked remarkably like her creator, who contributed to the war effort by appearing in uniform as a nurse, soldier, or an engineer. The series ran until 1965.
