 The Class of '34
In another 1934 entry, movie stars inspired characters, but then Milton Caniff's Terry and the Pirates was itself to inspire later filmmakers in its pacing and staging; its mood, evocation and atmosphere.
The earliest sequences of Terry resembled the latter sequences of 1933's Dickie Dare, but Caniff was experimenting through 1934 and the rest of the '30s.
Caniff was the comics' master of characterization, dialogue, and design--his "camera angles" and visual storytelling have inspired succeeding generations of cartoonists but never have been equalled.

After a stint on the strip, Dickie Dare, Caniff rose to worldwide fame through the blood and thunder adventures of Terry and the Pirates (1934), an exotic adventure comic strip that brought serious artistic merit to the artform.
Scholars believe that Caniff "revitalized" the style of newspaper adventure strips with Terry's world-hopping escapades, featuring a supporting cast as exotic as his famous dangerous women.
Caniff’s new creation brought the same flavor of adventure and impressionist graphic techniques that had made Terry so wildly successful.

 The Comics Journal: Interviews
The term "artist's artist" is woefully overused, a cold comfort to an artist who finds himself publicly praised by his better-known and wealthier peers -- in some cases, the source of that success being work created in or inspired by his style -- to no discernable improvement in his own fame and fortune.
Milt Caniff told me once that, when he was working on a newspaper there, that you came up with samples and that he and the rest of the art department took a look at those samples and they almost fell off their chairs.
Well, Milt was at the Columbus Dispatch, and I had gone up, when I was a little kid.

But, yes, it was my dream to do what Caniff, Raymond, and Foster had done, and to be an illustrator as well, because I loved what I saw in the Saturday Evening Post and Liberty, and all the other slick weekly and monthly magazines.
Caniff, on the other hand, was more the cartoonist, capable of the bigfoot stuff (although Sickles had that in him, too; both of them much appreciated Roy Crane from the get-go, admired what he could do with simple lines.
Coffee Nerves Sunday page comic ads with Caniff, using their combined alias, "Paul Arthur" (their middle names), and other ad work on his own—halftone, line, color, and he wound up doing ghost work for Caniff on Terry, because Caniff's phlebitis gave him _trouble, perhaps due to malaria (or not) from his Florida days.

Although better known for its heterosexual characters and escapades, for example, Milt Caniff's Terry and the Pirates featured both a gay and a lesbian in the thirteen years that Caniff produced the strip.
Milt Caniff's lesbian character, a French naval officer named "Sanjak," was slightly less discreet, although still veiled.
And in a fitting if unintended touch, Caniff revealed in the March 24, 1939, strip that Sanjak lived on a rocky island described as "an ideal hideaway." Yet Caniff never had Sanjak admit that her orientation was anything other than heterosexual.

 Calliope Comics presents Musings Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
I myself suspect it was Milt Caniff who first came up with the initial, groundbreaking idea of letting his various supporting characters in strips like TERRY AND THE PIRATES and STEVE CANYON actually remember their past meetings and interactions with various villains and refer to them in later adventures, but I could be wrong.
At its base, continuity was simply a way for Milt Caniff, or Frank Robbins, or whoever it was who first came up with the idea, to make their characters seem more real.
When villains started showing up for rematches, and heroes and villains started remembering their past encounters, it was the first, crude, most basic form of continuity that audiences had seen to date.

The famed comics creator Milt Caniff created Terry and the Pirates, an action-packed adventure newspaper comics story that was adapted for radio.
The first run of the show in the late 30's is considered lost, but many of the 1940's episodes are just as exciting as when kids who are now grandparents thrilled to hearing them on the radio.
The plots were written by Albert Barker, and veered wildly off the pages of Caniff's well-developed comic strip, but it didn't matter.
