Franklin Lewis Folger was a Cincinnati artist known for his widely syndicated comic strip The Girls, which ran in hundreds of newspapers from 1952 – 1977. In the series, Folger created caricatures of “the ladies who lunch”, the housewives and society ladies who populated the American middle and upper classes of the time. His treatment of his female characters was gentle but humorous, as they often found themselves in everyday but quite ridiculous circumstances. His light-hearted yet clever approach resonated with readers, especially women, launching the cartoon’s success and syndication across the country and worldwide. The series was additionally compiled into seven books by Doubleday and its followers included such notables as Eleanor Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson. Enjoy this unique and personal collection of his work and the works of fellow artists Folger admired.
