It's a Sunday comic section, and she has a second part on her lap. I can't make out what the strip she's reading is though. Any thoughts?
My friend, the Portuguese comics historian Leonardo de Sa, identified it, "I believe that's "Out Our Way." It should be the November 30, 1941 Sunday. Here it is, as published the following day
in The Tacoma Times:" https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88085187/1941-12-01/ed-1/seq-14/
As you can see from the the page, it's from when it had transitioned into being "The Willets."
