Connie (comic Strip) - Science Fiction

Science Fiction

Connie is capable of spectacular feats such as flying great distances cross-country in an unfamiliar plane, at night, with neither navigational equipment nor lights; or performing stunt flights in a plane she knew had recently been sabotaged. She even made a foray into outer space science fiction.

In The World Encyclopedia of Comics, Maurice Horn wrote:

Then came the Depression and Connie turned out to be a girl with a social conscience; she helped her mother with her charity work and often visited the men on the bread lines (one of the very few instances where the Depression was graphically depicted in a comic strip)... In 1934 Connie went to work, first as a reporter, then as the operator of a detective agency (a kind of female Sam Spade)... Connie is a liberated woman: intelligent, self-reliant, at ease in all situations. Holding her own against any man, she would certainly have made a better representative for the women's movement than... Wonder Woman.

    I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled ‘Science Fiction’ ... and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.
