In 1895 "The Yellow Kid" was created by Richard Outcault. This has often been cited as being the first comic strip. The reason is that Outcault was the first artist to use the balloon: an outlined space on the page where what the characters were saying was written. However, comic strips and comic books were actually published before "The Yellow Kid" debuted in the New York City newspaper "The World".

Comic drawings have a long history dating back to prehistoric times with cave paintings displaying sequential storytelling. The modern comic strip as we know it emerged in the late 19th century, pioneered by artists like Rodolphe Töpffer and Richard Outcault. The art form evolved over the 20th century, with prominent figures like Winsor McCay, Will Eisner, and Jack Kirby pushing boundaries and defining the medium. Today, comics are a diverse and vibrant form of storytelling found in newspapers, books, graphic novels, and digital platforms.

How do you make a comic in Microsoft Word 2007?
Microsoft Word does not have great capabilities to do drawings as detailed as you might want for a comic. However, if you can create the drawings elsewhere, like in a graphics package, you could then copy and paste them into Word, maybe into a table. You could type text that might be below or above the graphic. So Word can be good for the layout and text elements, anything outside the actual drawings themselves.

Do you like the Teen Titans better as a comic book or cartoon?
The comic books, because I never like cartoons with animation and drawings that look "fake". Conversely, I never liked the Teen Titans in comic form, but rather enjoyed the cartoon. The comic book tried a little too hard to be "edgy" and "relevant", while the cartoon was just goofy and fun. (Also, cartoon Starfire was a lot cuter than the implanterrific comic version.)
