Cartoonist Jackie Ormes, the leading inspiration for the Ormes Society, is perhaps best known for her creation of the strong-willed spitfire Torchy Brown. We here at the Ormes Society feel that such a legendary character as Torchy Brown should not remain lost in time! The Holding A Torch section of this site is dedicated to displaying renditions of Torchy Brown illustrated by various artists in the world of comics. Are you holding a torch for the resilient, righteous, smart and sensual Torchy Brown? Let us know!
