 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-color comic strip appeared in January 1894 in the New York World, 
owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color 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 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

above the characters’ heads. D. They had so fierce a dog that nobody would visit them.
