This was interesting. I knew they were in newspapers early, but not that early. I do remember when I learned to read, as a nine-year-old, I loved the comics. Now I'm wondering if I was around for the colorization of the comics. I don't remember that part.

You have begun an interesting and welcome series of information related to comic books. I am personally interested in reading more and I suspect others will follow your series, too. Excellent writing and reader-friendly.
Best wishes!

Brett, I enjoyed reading this about the funny papers and Hogan's Alley. I don't remember this one, but I probably did read it. I loved reading the comics. It was the best part of the paper to me! Blessings, Teri

This chapter in Funny Pages, Hogan's Alley, takes me back to my childhood when I would go through the Sunday paper and read the cartoon strips with my brother and sometimes my dad.

Great picture. Kid has jug ears. Mi have never heard of that comic, as I can imagine that most have not.
Great historical piece on an interesting historical topic. Good job!

Short, but interesting and engaging. Fascinating to hear about these things; I learn so much on this site. I look forward to the next one.

Appreciate the review. Liked the poetry quote, though not sure what it has to do with this posting?

What a great subject to research! Comics in the UK began a bit earlier - probably in a simple form in the 1820s, though a weekly called 'Funny Folks' was popular as early as 1874. But the heyday of the British comic was the 1930s when DC Thomson of Dundee (Scotland) set up his printing empire with 'The Beano', 'The Dandy' and several more best sellers. Every boy (and most girls) in Britain would have read at least one of his publications every week for their entire childhood.
The 'Yellow Kid' of Hogan's Alley fits right in with the misfits like 'Dennis the Menace' and 'Minnie the Minx'! Very interesting.
