We-Andreia, Gwendolyn, and I-are doing our project on The Origin Of Comic Strips In America. We are going to create our timeline starting in 1892 when the first comics started appearing in American newspapers, and from there we are going to show its progression through out the years. We will mention the first comic to pave the way for the success of comic strips (1896 Richard Felton Outcault's the "The yellow kid"). From there we will learn the different comics and styles throughout the years. Such as the first strip to tell a story, the first comic with a continuing story,the first comic-strip reprint collection, the first to gain widespread attention about a working woman, the first successful daily comic, the first comic to show individuals growing with it in real time, the first comics to be printed in what becomes the standard size for modern comic books: 5.5" x 8", the first action comics, the first detective comics, first marvel comic and so on. In other words we will show the evolution of the comic strip in America, using a timeline in the fashion of comic panels.
