It all began with The Yellow Kid. It was a humorous cartoon feature that began appearing in the New York World in 1896. It has become extremely popular. Soon newspaper readers were also amused by the antics of the likes of Foxy Grandpa, Buster Brown and The Katzenjammer Kids. The jokes were born.

And they were funny. The titles alone reveal the joy embodied in these creations cartoon: Happy Hooligan, Maude the Mule, Mutt and Jeff, Krazy Kat, and so on. These figures reflect the playful innocence of the age before the year 1914 climate. In retrospect, however, perhaps not everything was really funny. The popular Katzenjammer Kids, for example, screaming readers to what has been called a systematic campaign of sabotage which successfully resists spankings, threats and promises.

The rise of super-heroes

Soon the publishers have decided to reproduce some of the most common functions in book form. Initially, however, these cartoons were simply promotional items donated by advertisers. But in 1934, publishers Wildenberg and Gaines bet that young people would be willing to spend 10 cents for a comic they called Famous Funnies. She also was a success. Thus, artists who use barely out of high school, the editors have led a fierce competition for readers.

In 1938, a milestone occurred. The young team of Siegel and Shuster found a publisher for a cartoon character, they had invented Superman. According to one of its founders, it should be a character like Samson, Hercules, and all the mighty men I've ever heard of rolled into one. Only more. The Man of Steel captured the imagination of young and old. Soon, the monthly magazine has been extrapolated from one million dollars per year. And, under the impetus of this success, publishers have begun to invent other caped crusaders.

But the next generation of comics has descended into the areas of sex, violence and horror. Graphically violent comics, such as one entitled Crime does not pay, their publishers actually paid very well. And since the 1950 s rolled around, the comic has also begun to hate their young readers with titles like Tales from the Crypt.

In many cases, the cartoons were funnier.

Public protests

In 1954, Frederic Wertham s Seduction of the Innocent book accused the comic book industry of corrupting the youth. Dr. Wertham studied children suffering from emotional disorders and found that many of them were avid readers of comics. Concluded Dr. Wertham, comic stories teach violence.

Some, however, felt that the research of Dr. Wertham has not proved that comics had a detrimental effect on normal children. However, at least in the United States, measures were taken following the police comics industry by putting in place a code to limit excessive violence and nudity. But these measures have been effective? What are the comics like today?
