Today's Mother Goose Comic strip by Mike Peters. The Yellow Kid was the first comic strip. In fact, his yellowness gave the name of "Yellow Journalism". The strip took place in a urban alley with clothes lines, people hanging out of windows talking to their neighbors and crowded condtions like a big city dwellers have to put up with. The strip focused on the little bald headed kid called the Yellow Kid. It was a feature in the Hearst Newspapers, thus when Hearst pulled something tricky to create the news or made things up, it was called "Yellow Journalism".
The bottom line, is today is the 120th anniversary of comic strip in newspapers, which the Yellow Kid was the first.
