YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

When you think of the birth of comics in the United States, you shouldn't think of Superman. You should think of the character Mickey Dugan aka The Yellow Kid.

This week, we'll look at the origin of the comic strip in the U.S. We'll look at some one-panel cartoons that served as precursors to comic strips, the Swiss artist who created multi-panel storytelling, why comics were included in New York newspapers in the 1890s, and how The Yellow Kid's appearance changed American pop culture.
