JULIET JONES 18.02.95 - Frank Bolle

The Heart of Juliet Jones was created in 1953 as competition to I, the leading soap-opera strip of the time. It is the collaboration of artist Stan Drake and writer Eliot Caplin.Drake received the National Cartoonists Society's Story Comic Strip Award in 1968, 1970 and 1972. Drake left the strip in 1989, and it was continued by Frank Bolle from 1982 through New Year's Day 2001.
The strip’s major characters experience romance, heartbreak and drama in the small town of Devon. Protagonist Juliet Jones is a smart, attractive, conservative woman in her 30s whose unmarried status attracts both wanted and unwanted romantic situations. She lives with her younger sister, Eve, an impulsive vivacious woman in her 20s. Sharing their modest yet comfortable home is their beloved father, Pop.
