Farewell, Brenda (1943). Brenda will have time to relax and read some good books.After a 70-year run, Brenda Starr came to an end January 2, 2011. Brenda had many adventures, but perhaps she wants us to remember her as she looked in this 1943 watercolor by her creator, Dale Messick.Messick and the strip initially encountered resistance from the Chicago Tribune because its creator was a woman. After the strip was established, other instances of resistance were reported. “Whenever Ms. Messick drew in cleavage or a navel, the syndicate would erase it. She was once banned in Boston after showing Brenda smoking a polka-dot cigar.” -- source link
