The Heart of Juliet Jones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Heart of Juliet Jones was a comic strip created by Stan Drake in 1953. Drake received the National Cartoonist Society Story Comic Strip Award for his work on the strip for 1968, 1970, and 1972. Drake left the strip in 1989, and it was continued by Frank Bolle from 1982 through New Year's Day 2000.
The strip was a soap opera elevated by exceptional artwork. The figure drawing was characterized by Drake's pioneering use of naturalistic movement and expression, a look he achieved partly through the use of photographic reference.
Much of the dramatic tension was achieved through the interaction of two dissimilar sisters. Juliet Jones, the older, was modest, sensible and successful. Buxom Eve Jones, the younger, was flirty, flighty and in and out of trouble. Their elderly father also played a leading role.
The Heart of Juliet Jones is also the name of a band in Ohio. Juliet Jonesin sydän is a direct translation to Finnish, and is the name of a Finnish band.
