The last really popular... Calvin and Hobbes? That is a POV issue. What about the Boondocks for example?

I agree. Get Fuzzy is another example. I'll make the change in the article. Rick Norwood 15:17, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since this is a stub, and in the absence of verifiable sources, references, citations seems to allow a certain degree of personal observation and guesses, I'm thinking it might be appropriate to revise just a little of the early section along these lines:

      "The Yellow Kid, about a character who was officially given the Irish-sounding name 'Mickey
      Dugan,'is generally accepted as the first comic strip. [Creator R. F. Outcault may have been 
      unwilling to draw stereotypical Irish children; in any event,]the 'Yellow Kid' was a 
      racist picture of boy who appeared to be Asian, wearing a bright yellow shirt."

The opinion expressed in brackets is admittedly sheer speculation on my part, so I wouldn't insist on its retention . .

Well your probably not wrong, but is there any source that can back this up?P0PP4B34R732 (talk) 17:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I actually think he was supposed to be a stereotype of an Irish kid all along, it's just our modern interpretation that sees him as a stereotypical Asian kid. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 15:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Sunday strip

[edit]

These are virtually synonymous articles: Sunday comics comprise comic strips conventionally printed on Sunday, in color. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:01, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Full support. These are not different topics. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:54, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
