Fritzi was initially portrayed as a flapper, whose main concerns were men, clothes, cosmetics, and money. In the early strips, Fritzi lived with her father and her Aunt Evelyn (who would eventually be retconned into her mother), with her father being the most commonly seen. By 1927, her mother had disappeared completely; her father, however, appeared until the mid-1930s.

She had a regular boyfriend, Ted Nichols (who was poor) and fended off the attentions of Bobby Bonds (who was rich). In 1925, Larry Whittington left the strip to create another, Mazie the Model (syndicated by King Features). In May of that year, Bushmiller took over the strip, and Fritzi eventually began dating a new regular boyfriend, Wally.

Fritzi began working at Star Studios in April 1923. Most of the 1920s gags took place at work, either in the studio or on location shooting at the beach, the mountains, in the country, or at a farm.

*Fritzi appeared in a number of comic books published by United Feature Syndicate with a few titles were continued by St. John Publications and then Dell Comics as well. All original content in the public domain issues such as the cover art would be public domain. While many did not have their copyright renewed, most reprinted the newspaper strips that could be renewed so be sure to check the renewals for the strips as well as the comics. (Some or most of the post-1931 strips of Fritzi Ritzi were not renewed.)
*On January 2, 1933, Fritzi's niece Nancy appeared as a house guest and eventually overtook the strip. The copyright for Nancy's first appearance in that specific strip was not renewed, therefore she's also in the public domain.
