Name/Title
When Mother Was a GirlDescription
Paul Fung took over both 'Dumb Dora' and this strip from Chic Young in 1929, and featured backgammon references in both strips. The formula for 'When Mother Was a Girl' is to contrast the modern behaviors of jazz-age women with the more staid attitudes of the previous generation. This episode illustrates several persistent backgammon themes of the day -- the embrace of gambling, the outrageous prices being fetched for newer, more luxurious playing boards, and the popularity of the game among women.Publication Details
