You've probably heard of: Charles Schulz, Walt Disney, Chuck Jones, Tex Avery, Gary Larson, Jim Davis, and Matt Groening...but we may have never of them if it weren't for Richard Outcault....on May 5, 1895, the Sunday morning paper held a little surprise for its readers. Readers of the New York World discovered a single-strip, full-color drawing of a big-eared, barefoot little boy with a mischievous grin created by Outcault, this comic strip (called "Hogan's Alley," and later, "The Yellow Kid") became the very first commercially successful cartoon. Then in 1905 Cartoonist Winsor McCay creates "Little Nemo in Slumberland" for the New York Herald; it has a story that continues each week, which is unusual for this time.
