The modern comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the American press in the late nineteenth century The first full-colour comic strip appeared January 1894 in the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer The first regular weekly full-colour comic supplement, similar to today’s Sunday funnies, appeared two years later, in William Randolph Hearst’s rival New York paper, the Morning Journal
Both were immensely popular and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief boosted the sale of papers The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the “Yellow Kid”, the first continuous comic
character in the United States, whose creator, Richard F Outcault, had been lured away from the World by the
ambitious Hearst The “Yellow Kid” was in many ways a pioneer Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban farce
that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside the strip, usually placed above
the characters’ heads
The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirks’s “Katzenjammer Kids”, based on
Wilhelm Busch’s Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century The “Kids” strip, first published in
1897, served as the prototype for future American strips It contained not only speech balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the larger panoramic scenes of earlier comics
Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the country
Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black-and-white strips were not far behind The first appeared in the Chicago American in 1904 It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 black-and-white comic strips had
become a staple of daily newspapers around the country
