In February 1895, Joseph Pulitzer's New York World published a small cartoon by Richard F. Outcault that contained a jug-eared figure in a long nightshirt. On 5th May 1895, the same figure appeared in a full-page comic panel in the World's Sunday humour strip. Within a year the figure gained a name - The Yellow Kid - and found a public whose devotion to the character helped make the new art form of comic strips an enduring feature of American newspapers. In the 1930s, entrepreneurs created another home for this art form in special comic books.
