Exploits of Eve, by Wilfred Cyr, 1931
Unidentified comic strip by Wilfred Cyr. 

Wilfred Cyr was from Amesbury, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1889 and lived all his life. He was handicapped: only able to use his head and neck, wrist and hands and ankles. Since he could not lift his arms, he used his wrists to move his hands across his work. W.R. Cyr also had a brother Cyril Cyr who was an artist too and afflicted with the same illness. Both were instructors in their own art studio. One of their students was Al Capp, who is said to have been heavily influenced by the strip 'Cabin Boy', by Wilfred Cyr. Wifred Cyr was also the author of the comic strip 'Exploits of Eve', that ran from 1932 to 1937. Later in life, he devoted himself to making miniature portraits of local scenes,
