Do Brains go with Beauty? Do Thrills go with Romance?
YES…..in MYRA NORTH, Special Nurse

I stumbled across this little noir comic strip while I was poking around the archives of the Dallas Newspaper. I “clipped” these panels because I liked the artist’s style; reminded me of old Dick Tracy and Li’l Orphan Annie comic strips. I didn’t really read those strips when I was a kid because there were too many word balloons, and nothing funny about them.

Myra North ran as a daily strip for about three years; the Sunday version, probably in color, lasted another three.
