Children of the Yellow Kid The Evolution of the American Comic Strip
R C Harvey, Richard F Outcault (ill.). Frye Art Museum. Well known expert on the comic strip, writes definitively about the medium using original drawings for the illustrations rather than the usual reproductions from the printed version of the strip. This method adds considerably to the interest by showing margin notations and changes not visible in the printed version. Among the many examples are strips such as Gasoline Alley, Bringing Up Father, Beetle Bailey, Star Wars, Bloom County, Calvin & Hobbes and many more. Artists represented include Al Capp, Harold Gray, Alex Raymond, Hal Foster, Warren Tufts, Milton Caniff, Charles Schultz, Walt Kelly and many more. 176 pages.
