Your Sunday Funnies: Petting Patty, The Season Finale!

, , ,

Jefferson Machamer’s comic strip from the 1920s with the shocking title never caught on back then, but maybe 2021 is the year!

In the last episode, Patty, a beautiful heiress and flapper, has arrived at the resort Soak-You-on-Sea to search for her fiance, Peter, who, to her deep humiliation (and more than a little nervous jealousy), has taken a job as a waiter, the two argue in the restaurant and go off their separate ways, both bereft and love-sick.

Now you are up to speed!

In this final episode of Patty’s arc, will they reconcile?

Whew! Glad those crazy Jazz Age kids are back together. This is the final available episode of Petting Patty. We will print more as we find them.

Your Sunday Funnies: Yet More “Petting Patty,” from 1929

, , ,

Jefferson Machamer’s jazz age comic strip, lewd title and all, never made much of a splash when it first appeared, but we like it.

In the last episode, Patty, a beautiful heiress, has arrived at the resort Soak-You-on-Sea to search for her fiance, Peter, who, to her deep humiliation (and more than a little nervous jealousy), has taken a job as a waiter. Is he there for honest work, or to seduce other beautiful heiresses? The hunt is on.

Your Sunday Funnies: Petting Patty

, , ,

We’re not sure if we love this comic strip, or if we just love the idea that in 1929 there was a comic strip with this scandalous title. Maybe no one at the paper understood it. Maybe everyone was much more open minded during the Jazz Age than we might imagine.

Jefferson Machamer, the strip’s writer, became an artist of some note, although he never penned a truly successful and long-running comic strip.

In our last episode, a jealous Patty traveled to a seaside resort called “Soak-You-on-Sea” to check up on her boyfriend, Peter, who’s working as a waiter there. Now you’re all caught up!

Your Sunday Funnies: Petting Patty, from 1929

Yes, it’s true: at one time, there was indeed a comic strip called “Petting Patty” that appeared in the “legit” press, although, from the title alone, it was not clear who was doing the titular petting. (Definition of “tituler”: denoting a person or thing from whom or which the name of an artistic work or similar is taken.) The strip first showed up in 1928, in the waning days of the Jazz Age, and its flapper heroine must have quickly seemed anachronistic, post-Crash, and it ended in 1930. And so Petting Patty is forgotten today.
