Animated films, such as Finding Nemo (2003), are a very popular form of entertainment. Animated films were once drawn entirely by hand, but today many are made on computers.
Comics,
or comic strips, are cartoons with several panels that tell a story.
You can find comic strips in the funny papers, a section of the daily
newspaper. In some comics, each daily strip tells its own story. In
others, each strip is part of a continuing story. Popular comic-strip
characters include Charlie Brown, his dog Snoopy, and their friends in
Peanuts, and the fussy cat in Garfield.
The
first comic strips appeared in American newspapers in the 1890s. One of
the earliest was Hogan’s Alley, by Richard Outcault. It featured a bald
boy in a yellow nightshirt called the Yellow Kid. By the early 1900s,
comic strips were a part of most American newspapers.
COMIC BOOKS
The
first comic books were just collections of newspaper comic strips.
Comic books with original material began to appear in the 1930s. They
could tell longer and more detailed stories than newspaper strips. Comic
books became widely popular beginning in 1938 with the first appearance
of the superhero character Superman.
New
superheroes soon appeared in other comic books, including the Flash,
Wonder Woman, and Captain Marvel. Comic books in the 1960s introduced a
whole new set of superheroes, such as X-Men, Spider-Man, and the
Fantastic Four. These newer superheroes all had special powers, but they
had problems in life like everyone else.
