Sewell Ford’s Torchy stories were a popular American humor series that appeared in magazines and collected volumes in the early twentieth century. Torchy is a quick-witted, red-haired office boy who narrates his adventures in a breezy, slang-heavy vernacular voice that was immensely popular with readers of the era. Torchy and Vee focuses on his romantic relationship with Vee.
