The modem comic strip started out as ammunition in a newspaper war between giants of the American press in
the late nineteenth century. The first full-color comic strip appeared in January 1894 in the New York World, owned
by Joseph Pulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color 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 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
scenes of earlier comics.
Newspaper syndication played a major role in spreading the popularity of comic strips throughout the country.
Though weekly colored comics came first, daily black- and-white strips were not far behind. They first appeared in
the Chicago American in 1904. It was followed by many imitators, and by 1915 black-and-white comic strips had
become a staple of daily newspapers around the country.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL
The American type of football was developed in the 19th century from soccer and rugby football. Played by
professionals, amateurs, colleges, high schools, or young children, football in America is one of the most popular
sports besides basketball and baseball. It attracts millions of fans each fall and people are very supportive of their
favorite teams. The football playing field of today is rectangular in shape and measures 100 yards long and 53.5
yards wide. White lines are painted on the playing field to mark off the distances to the end zone. The game is
divided into four quarters, each fifteen minutes long. The first two quarters are known as the first half. There is a rest
period between two halves which usually last about fifteen minutes. Each team has eleven players. Each team has
offensive players (play when the team has possession of the ball) and defensive players (play when the other team
has the possession of the ball). Because of the body contact players have during the game, helmets are worn to
protect their head and face area, whereas pads are worn to protect the shoulders, arms, and legs. Also, there are
officials carrying whistles and flags to make certain that the rules of the game are followed during the game. The
football is made of leather and is brown in color. It is shaped much like an oval and has white rings near each end of
the football. These rings help the players see the ball when it is thrown or someone is running with it. The eight
stitches on the top of the football help the players to grip the ball when throwing or passing. The most famous game
of the year is Super bowl that is played in January or February. It is televised around the world and is watched by
millions of people each year.
