	Free Comic Book Day May 5th 2007
		With the gradual elimination of the comics racks from stores and dwindling number of neighborhood newsstands, comics-reading opportunities for children are far fewer than they used to be.
		Other comics fans are grateful that back-issue prices of other types of comics have not escalated as wildly as have the prices of many early super-hero comics.
		Comic book stories were easy to understand, and almost all stores had a comic book rack, so comics were easy to find.

		The immediate ancestor of the newspaper comic strip was the cartoon, especially popular in the late 19th cent.
		With the creation of such pioneering strips as Happy Hooligan (1899), by Frederick Burr Opper, Charles (“Bunny”) Schultze’s Foxy Grandpa (1900), Outcault’s Buster Brown (1902), and James Swinnerton’s Little Jimmy (1905), all the essential components of the comic strip (e.g., regularity of cast, use of sequence of panels, and speech-balloons) were refined and securely established.
		Book-length fiction in comic strip form has acquired a sizable adult readership in Japan, in the “novelas” of many Spanish-speaking countries, and in the wide variety of “graphic novels” popular in the United States at the end of the 20th cent.

		The hybrid strip offers the best of both worlds; it will enable Johnston to cut back on the daily grind (who wouldn't need some rest after producing nearly three decades-worth of daily comics?), but will still give fans their Patterson family fix.
		Johnston says the gradual aging of the characters was not planned when the strip began, and after 30 years, she's ready to freeze the Pattersons at their current ages.

		When we say that a strip is 4 columns wide (4c), it means that the strip was printed to cover 4 columns worth of space in the newspaper.
		This may occur because the lot is a combination of strips running in different papers at different sizes, or it may mean that the newspaper shrank the comics from one size to the other during this period.
		In many cases when strips are clipped from bound volumes they will exhibit some brittleness along the page edge - typically this is well away from the actual strip and is not considered a defect.
