Comment from Alexandra Trovato
This is another excellent story about comics. I love to learn and this topic has so many directions, including historical considerations as you've shown. I think I will bookmark these if I can figure that out. It's inspiring me to look at the art. I'm an artist, so this is interesting. I will continue to look into this from the prospective of the artists st too. I like editorial cartoons and I wonder how they began.
Best wishes!

Lol. I remember grabbing the comic section before any other member of my family could get their hands on it. It was comics so it was meant for me. Loved Peanuts and Hi and Lois. Beetle Bailey. All the classics. Lol. Good memories. Gretchen

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
As newspapers and the comic column has become a think of the past, we look back and remember first the comic strip appeared in black and white. We had (Andy Cap) appearing regularly in a national newspaper. Then there were the coloured comics and rare copies are now worth a fortune as they are collectors pieces. An interesting post Brett, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

As I said in the earlier review, I love to learn. That never stops however old you get. So here I am learning something about how colour cartoons came about. Fascinating. Ulla:)))

Your insights appreciated, as is the review.
Comment from LJbutterfly
I can't imagine a time when colorization of comics did not exist. Actually, I never thought about it. The 'Funnies' were always in color. I can understand how colorization would boost newspaper sales during the 1800s. My husband still subscribes to several newspapers, but most people get news from the internet or TV. There needs to be a modern day boost. Thanks for sharing this informative bit of research.

Very interesting; I have to admit that I have never given any thought to the development of comics, coloured or otherwise. I can see how revolutionary it would have been to print comics in colour.

Hello Brett,
thanks for sharing this little bit of history with us. As you are aware, newspapers are becoming a thing of the past. I suppose that's good for the forests of the world, but there is something very satisfying about sitting down in your easy chair and unfolding a newspaper. It just seems more civilized somehow.
Blessings,
Tom

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
I had no idea colorization of comics began that early. Our local paper only colorized the outside front and back, not the inside comics. Is that the way it was done early on?

Interesting history of cartoons and colorization of the comic section. I'm glad you're making newspaper history one of your writing projects. Our newspaper, if you could call it that, has become smaller and smaller. The problem really worsened during the COVID restrictions. Advertising revenue couldn't depended on, because the department stores that usually did so much advertising had closed. The internet edition also competes. Anyhow, the city, which once has multiple newspapers, is down to one which publishes five times a week. There are no special sections anymore. Appreciate your writing about the subject. judi
