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 fullcolor comic strip appeared in January 1894 in the New York World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly fullcolor 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 farce (笑话) that came to characterize later strips, and it introduced the speech balloon inside the strip, usually placed above the characters’ heads.
The first strip to incorporate all the elements of later comics was Rudolph Dirks’s" Katzenjammer Kids", based on Wilhelm Busch’s Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The "Kids" strip, first published in 1897, served as the prototype for future American strips. It contained not only speech balloons, but a continuous cast of characters, and was divided into small regular panels that did away with the larger panoramic(全貌的) scenes of moat earlier comics.
Newspaper syndication (联合组织) played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the country. Though weekly colored comics came first, daily blackandwhite strips were not far behind. The first appeared in the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 blackandwhite comic strips had become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.
The passage suggests that comic strips were popular for which of the following reasons?
选项
A、Readers enjoyed the unusual drawings.
B、Readers could identify with the characters.
C、They were about reallife situations.
D、They provided a break from serious news stories.
