Connie is an American adventure comic strip created by the cartoonist Frank Godwin, who introduced a book illustration style to the comics page. The strip ran from 1927 to 1941 for the Ledger Syndicate.[1] Connie debuted as a Sunday page on November 13, 1927. The strip was syndicated in France as Cora in the weekly paper Le Journal de Mickey.[2]

Some sources indicate 1929 as the start date for Connie. [3] Similarly, Maurice Horn's World Encyclopedia of Comics says that the strip lasted until 1944, but Allan Holtz's American Newspaper Comics: An Encyclopedic Reference Guide says that it "was probably just available in reprints that long."[1]
