Jane
Quick Summary
The comic strip Jane, published in the Daily Mirror from 1932 to 1959, was a notable British contribution to the medium. Created by Norman Pett, the strip featured an artful striptease theme and gained significant popularity, especially among servicemen during World War II. While "jane" can be slang for a girl or woman, in the context of comic strips, Jane refers to this specific popular publication. The origins of the comic strip itself trace back to early printing, with themes evolving from political and religious morality to social satire and everyday life.123
