The Etta Kett strip ended on this day in 1947 after running almost 50 years. Paul Robinson started the strip for the King Features Syndicate to teach good manners, grooming and fashion. Etta Kett=etiquette, get it? Har! Har! This etiquette angle was soon dropped and the strip became a typical teen-girl strip. “Teen-girl strip”, my, the blog is gonna get lots of hits today from trollers of the search engines! I just hope the pervs mind their manners!

   Etta Kett still is quite active in one field: crossword puzzles. Everyone still uses her first or last name as an answer in the grid: very handy letters for ends of words.

   Your end date for the Etta Kett strip is in error. It did not end in 1947. It ended in 1974.

I.T.C.H is looking forward to your thoughts. Please, no flame. Thanks!
