Winnie Winkle
''Winnie Winkle'' was an American comic strip which appeared over a 76-year span (1920–96). The strip's premise was conceived by Joseph Medill Patterson, but the stories and artwork were by Martin Branner, who wrote the strip for over 40 years. ''Winnie Winkle'' was one of the first comic strips about working women. The main character, Winnie, was a young woman who had to support her parents and adopted brother, serving as a reflection of the changing role of women in society. It ran in more than 100 newspapers for several decades, and translations of the strip's Sunday pages (focusing on her little brother Perry Winkle and his gang) were made available in Europe.
Due to its originality and longevity, ''Winnie Winkle'' became a household name and an icon, inspiring even the Pop Art artist Roy Lichtenstein. ''Winnie Winkle'' was reprinted in Dell Comics, and for a time her face appeared on a cigar box lid.〔(Cigar Label Junkie )〕 In retrospect, ''Winnie Winkle'' is seen as one of the comic strips heralding a new, more independent role for American women after World War I.
== Publication history ==
The Chicago Tribune Syndicate launched the comic strip on September 20, 1920. By 1939, ''Winnie Winkle'' was running in more than 140 newspapers. It was titled ''Winnie Winkle the Breadwinner'' until 1943. By 1970, ''Winnie Winkle'' still ran in more than 150 newspapers.
''Winnie Winkle'' ended July 28, 1996, after 76 years, one of the longest runs in American comic strip history. Tribune Media Services, the syndicate that distributed the comic strip, "felt that the Winnie Winkle character was not recognized as a contemporary role model for the '90s." At the time, the strip was carried by only a handful of newspapers.
