Glamorous Romances

For this blog post I entered The Internet Archive Comics Collection to broaden my horizons and dive into some comics. I’ve never really been a Comic kind of girl but after looking through a lot of comics they’re actually very entertaining. Being a woman who loves the thought of romance, I found a comic titled Honeymoon For One located in the Glamorous Romances comic book in the December issue. The comic focuses on a couple by the names of Rita Burton and Julian Doyle. The couple met at the Museum of science where they fell madly in love. They plan on getting married and having a honeymoon in Tahiti (the museum is doing a exhibition on Tahiti and Julian needs to go collect materials there) all is good until Rita catches Julian kissing another women, his Ex Fiancé. Julian resigns and leaves with his former fiancé. Rita still plans on going to Tahiti and her boss assigns an assistant to go with her named Gibbs Smith. Rita and Gibbs get swept up in the romance of the island and end up falling in love in Tahiti. Not shortly after but who appears, Julian, confessing that he still loved Rita and their love becomes one big triangle between Gibbs, Rita, and Julian. In the end Rita goes with her heart and actually decides to marry Gibbs and they live happily ever after. I believe we can look at this comic through a feminist theoretical lens. Honeymoon For One shows feminism in a positive light. When Julian resigned from the Museum and ran off with his ex Fiancé, instead of giving it to another leading male, they gave Rita the responsibility to go to Tahiti herself and finish the exhibit. Women fight for equality between men and women, especially in the workforce.
