	Dale Messick: A Comic Strip Life
		Brenda Starr became one of the most successful comic strips ever and for Dale, Brenda Starr's life, adventures and clothes were a successful formula; they were all things that the average housewife wanted to have.
		To this day, she firmly believes that Brenda is a perfect balance of an ideal reporter and says that, "Authenticity is something I always try to avoid." Dale, a product of her era, knew that the '40s were a depressing time and she wanted to create a character to capture the imagination of women everywhere.
		By putting Brenda Starr parachuting from planes or nearly freezing at high altitudes in exotic places, she was changing the dreary life of the American working girl.

	D. Messick, 'Brenda Starr' creator
		Messick, whose strip ran in 250 newspapers at its peak in the 1950s, died Tuesday, said her daughter, Starr Rohrman, who had been caring for her mother in Sonoma County.
		Brenda would later come under fire for being too preoccupied with her looks and her men, and too far removed from the routine of real newspaperwomen.
		Young men liked the strip, too, and quite a few, thinking they were dealing with one of the boys, asked "Dale" for private sketches of Brenda in sexier poses than a family newspaper could bear.

		Brenda Starr joined the profusely male pantheon of comic heroes during an era that spanned the Depression, World War II, and the I Like Ike and I Love Lucy-goosiness of the '50s.
		In this atmosphere of patriotism and sisterhood, the strip flourished (after all, Brenda Starr did her part for the war effort) and compounded the early success it achieved in the 18 months before Pearl Harbor.
		Brenda Starr continues to be drawn by other artists for the Chicago Tribune-New York News syndicate--an endeavor Messick does not begrudge, though she has no compunction about voicing her criticism.

	[No title]
		Based on the adventures of comic strip heroine-reporter-clotheshorse Brenda Starr, it's obvious that this film was produced as a bargain-basement attempt to make a fast buck off of the wave generated by the other comic strip features Superman, Batman, and Dick Tracy.
		Cartoonist Mike Randall, an irredeemably bland Tony Peck (Gregory's son), is drawing the latest Brenda Starr strip, which shows our heroine again risking her life for a scoop.
		The story, set in 1948, focuses on Starr's most dangerous assignment: She must trek to the jungles of South America and track down a former Nazi scientist whose secret formula for a rocket fuel could be used to destroy the world if Starr doesn't beat an army of spies to the punch.

	Newspapers in the News with Charles Apple
		An impossibly glamorous redhead, [Brenda Starr's] appearance was inspired by Rita Hayworth; her first name came from the most famous debutante of the day, Brenda Frazier, and her last name was chosen because she was the star reporter on The Flash.
		The Brenda Starr comic strip was a symphony of dÃ©colletage, good legs precariously balanced on high-heeled shoes, and Dior-like clothing that no woman would be likely to wear to a newspaper office.
		In one strip, Brenda brings a typed story to The Flash late at night and hands it to a custodian, who somehow gets it into the next day's paper.
