Read the passages and the questions. Then choose A, B, C, or D that you think fits best

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 full-color comic strip appeared January 1894 in the New York World, owned by JosephPulitzer. The first regular weekly full-color comic supplement, similar to todays Sunday funnies, appeared two years later,in William Randolph Hearsts rival New York paper, the Morning Journal.

Both were immensely popular and publishers realized that supplementing the news with comic relief boosted the saleof papers. The Morning Journal started another feature in 1896, the Yellow Kid, the first continuous comic character inthe United States, whose creator, Richard Outcault, had been lured away from the World by the ambitious Hearst. TheYellow Kid was in many ways a pioneer. Its comic dialogue was the strictly urban farce that came to characterize laterstrips, 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 Dirkss Katzenjammer Kids, based onWilhelm Buschs Max and Moritz, a European satire of the nineteenth century. The Kids strip, first published in 1897,
