Heart of Juliet Jones was created in 1953 as competition to Mary
Worth, the leading soap-opera strip of the time.It is the
collaboration of artist Stan Drake and wrtier Eliot Caplin who won the
Best Story Strip award by the National Cartoonist Society in 1969, 1970
and 1972. 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 thirties
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.”
