Comic strip
–
A comic strip is a sequence of drawings arranged in interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons and captions. With the development of the internet, they began to online as web comics. There were more than 200 different comic strips and daily cartoon panels in American newspapers alone each day for most of the 20th century, Strips are written and drawn by a comics artist or cartoonist. As the name implies, comic strips can be humorous, starting in the late 1920s, comic strips expanded from their mirthful origins to feature adventure stories, as seen in Popeye, Captain Easy, Buck Rogers, Tarzan, and The Adventures of Tintin. Soap-opera continuity strips such as Judge Parker and Mary Worth gained popularity in the 1940s, all are called, generically, comic strips, though cartoonist Will Eisner has suggested that sequential art would be a better genre-neutral name. In the UK and the rest of Europe, comic strips are also serialized in comic book magazines, storytelling using a sequence of pictures has existed through history. One medieval European example in textile form is the Bayeux Tapestry, printed examples emerged in 19th-century Germany and in 18th-century England, where some of the first satirical or humorous sequential narrative drawings were produced. William Hogarths 18th century English cartoons include both narrative sequences, such as A Rakes Progress, and single panels, in China, with its traditions of block printing and of the incorporation of text with image, experiments with what became lianhuanhua date back to 1884. The first newspaper comic strips appeared in North America in the late 19th century, the Yellow Kid is usually credited as one of the first newspaper strips. However, the art form combining words and pictures developed gradually, swiss author and caricature artist Rodolphe Töpffer is considered the father of the modern comic strips. In 1865, German painter, author, and caricaturist Wilhelm Busch created the strip Max and Moritz, Max and Moritz provided an inspiration for German immigrant Rudolph Dirks, who created the Katzenjammer Kids in 1897. Familiar comic-strip iconography such as stars for pain, sawing logs for snoring, speech balloons, hugely popular, Katzenjammer Kids occasioned one of the first comic-strip copyright ownership suits in the history of the medium. When Dirks left William Randolph Hearst for the promise of a better salary under Joseph Pulitzer, it was an unusual move, in a highly unusual court decision, Hearst retained the rights to the name Katzenjammer Kids, while creator Dirks retained the rights to the characters. Hearst promptly hired Harold Knerr to draw his own version of the strip, Dirks renamed his version Hans and Fritz. Thus, two versions distributed by rival syndicates graced the pages for decades. Dirks version, eventually distributed by United Feature Syndicate, ran until 1979, in the United States, the great popularity of comics sprang from the newspaper war between Pulitzer and Hearst. On January 31,1912, Hearst introduced the nations first full daily comic page in his New York Evening Journal, the history of this newspaper rivalry and the rapid appearance of comic strips in most major American newspapers is discussed by Ian Gordon. The longest running American comic strips are,1, barney Google and Snuffy Smith 5

The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations, in most countries it started in 1929 and it was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Great Depression is commonly used as an example of how far the economy can decline.

The Great Depression had devastating effects in both rich and poor. Personal income, tax revenue, profits and prices dropped, while international trade plunged by more than 50%, unemployment in the U. S. rose to 25% and in some countries rose as high as 33%. Cities all around the world were hit hard, especially dependent on heavy industry.

The stock market turned upward in early 1930, returning to early 1929 levels by April and this was still almost 30% below the peak of September 1929. Together, government and business spent more in the first half of 1930 than in the period of the previous year.

S, by mid-1930, interest rates had dropped to low levels, but expected deflation and the continuing reluctance of people to borrow meant that consumer spending and investment were depressed.

His Girl Friday
–
This was the second time the play had been adapted for the screen, the first occasion being the 1931 film also called The Front Page. The major change in version, introduced by Hawks, is that the role of Hildy Johnson is a woman. The film stars Cary Grant as Walter Burns and Rosalind Russell as Hildy Johnson, the film was #19 on American Film Institutes 100 Years.100 Laughs and has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Due to a failure to renew the registration, the film entered the public domain in the United States in 1968. The 1928 play it is based on remains under copyright in the United States until 2024, Walter determines to sabotage these plans, enticing the reluctant Hildy to cover one last story, the upcoming execution of convicted murderer Earl Williams. Walter does everything he can to keep Hildy from leaving, including setting Bruce up so he arrested over and over again on trumped-up charges. He even kidnaps Hildys stern mother-in-law-to-be, when Williams escapes from the bumbling sheriff and practically falls into Hildys lap, the lure of a big scoop proves too much for her. She is so consumed with writing the story that she hardly notices as Bruce realizes his cause is hopeless, Walter and Hildy find out in time to save Williams from the gallows and they use the information to blackmail the mayor and sheriff into dropping Walters arrest for kidnapping. His Girl Friday was originally intended to be an adaptation of The Front Page. But during auditions, a woman, Howard Hawkss secretary, read reporter Hildy Johnsons lines, Hawks liked the way the dialogue sounded coming from a woman, resulting in the script being rewritten to make Hildy female and the ex-wife of editor Walter Burns. Most of the dialogue and all of the characters names were left the same, with the exception of Hildys fiancé. Hawks had great difficulty casting this film, while the choice of Cary Grant was almost instantaneous, the casting of Hildy was a more extended process. Jean Arthur was offered the part, and was suspended by the studio when she refused to take it, joan Crawford was reportedly also considered. Hawks then turned to Rosalind Russell, during filming, Russell noticed that Hawks treated her like an also-ran, so she confronted him, You dont want me, do you. Well, youre stuck with me, so you might as well make the most of it, the film had the working title of The Bigger They Are, and was in production from September 27 to November 21,1939. In her autobiography, Life Is A Banquet, Russell wrote that she thought her role did not have as many lines as Grants. With Hawks encouraging ad-libbing on the set, Russell was able to slip her writers work into the movie, only Grant was wise to this tactic and greeted her each morning saying, What have you got today. The film is noted for its rapid-fire repartee, using overlapping dialogue to make sound more realistic

Patterson moved to a farm in the country, wrote a novel, after his father died, Patterson took over the management of the Tribune. He had a dispute about how to run the Tribune with his cousin, after World War I ended, he visited London and observed a newspaper in tabloid form for the first time. Patterson moved to New York City and founded the New York Daily News as a tabloid on June 26,1919, with McCormick as co-editor and publisher. However, the two were unable to resolve their dispute, so in 1925 Patterson ceded full authority over the Tribune to McCormick in return for control of the Daily News. Initially, the Daily News was somewhat more liberal than the Tribune, however, over the years, it became more conservative as Patterson drifted rightward. He took an approach to managing the various comic strip properties in his papers. He suggested the character of Gasoline Alley adopt a foundling child who became Skeezix. Patterson influenced Chester Goulds Dick Tracy, changing the title from Plainclothes Tracy, milton Caniff credited Patterson for suggesting a comic strip about the Orient, which led to the creation of Caniffs Terry and the Pirates

Sunday strip
–
A Sunday strip is a newspaper comic strip format, where comic strips are printed in the Sunday newspaper, usually in a special section called the Sunday comics, and virtually always in color. Some readers called these sections the Sunday funnies, some newspapers, such as Grit, published Sunday strips in black-and-white, and some print their Sunday strips on Saturday. Subject matter and genres have ranged from adventure, detective and humor strips to dramatic strips with soap opera situations, a continuity strip employs a narrative in an ongoing storyline. Other strips offer a gag complete in an episode, such as Little Iodine and Mutt. The Sunday strip is contrasted with the comic strip, published Monday through Saturday, usually in black. Some strips, such as Prince Valiant appear only on Sunday, others, such as Rip Kirby, are daily only and have never appeared on Sunday. In some cases, such as Buz Sawyer, the Sunday strip is a spin-off, early Sunday strips usually filled a full newspaper page, but over decades they shrank in size, becoming smaller and smaller. Currently, no Sunday strips stand alone on a page, the last full-page Sunday strip was Prince Valiant, which was published as a full page in some newspapers until 1970. Shortly after the full-page Prince Valiant was discontinued, Hal Foster retired from drawing the strip, manuscript Press published a print of his last Prince Valiant strip in full-page format, this was the last full-page comic strip, though it did not appear in that format in newspapers. Other formats for Sunday strips include the half-page, the third of a page, the page, the tabloid page or tab. Today, with the size of Sunday strips, many other smaller formats abound. Usually, only the largest format is complete, with the other formats dropping or cropping one or more panels, such throwaway panels often contain material that is not vital to the main part of the strip. Most cartoonists fill the first two panels of their strips with a gag, knowing that the public may not see them. Exceptions to this rule include Steve Canyon and, until its last few years, On Stage, half-page Sunday strips have at least two different styles. The King Features, the Creators and the Chicago Tribune syndicates use nine panels, while United Features, currently, the largest and most complete format for most Sunday strips, such as Peanuts, is the half page. A few strips have been enough for the artist to insist on the Sunday strip being run in a half-page format. Calvin and Hobbes was the first strip to do this, followed by Outland, the Reading Eagle is one of the few newspapers that still run half-page Sunday strips. In some cases today, the strip and Sunday strip dimensions are almost the same

Ramona Fradon
–
Ramona Fradon is an American comic book and comic strip artist, known for her work illustrating Aquaman and Brenda Starr, and co-creating the superhero Metamorpho. Fradon entered cartooning just after graduating from the Parsons School of Design, comic-book letterer George Ward, a friend of her husband, asked her for samples of her artwork to pitch for job openings. She landed her first assignment on the DC Comics feature Shining Knight and her first regular assignment was illustrating an Adventure Comics backup feature starring Aquaman. She and writer Robert Bernstein co-created the sidekick Aqualad in Adventure Comics #269, following her time with Aquaman, and taking a break to have her daughter, Fradon returned to co-create Metamorpho. She drew the characters two try-out appearances in The Brave and the Bold and the first four issues of the eponymous series, Fradon drew The Brave and the Bold #59, a Batman/Green Lantern team-up, the first time that series featured Batman teaming with another DC superhero. From 1965 to 1972, Fradon left comics to raise her daughter, in 1972, she returned to DC where later in the decade she would draw Plastic Man, Freedom Fighters, and Super Friends which she penciled for almost its entire run. She also worked for Marvel Comics during this period, but left only two assignments, a fill-in issue of Fantastic Four and the never-published fifth issue of The Cat. Fradon recounted, First of all, I was really rusty, and I was totally confounded by not drawing from a script. They gave me this one paragraph and said go draw this 17-page story, I don’t think I did my best work by any means. I think I had a script on Fantastic Four, but I just don’t think they were satisfied with my work, then I went back to DC and started doing mysteries with Joe Orlando. I really had a lot of fun doing that and it suited my style, I think. In 1980, Dale Messick retired from drawing the newspaper strip Brenda Starr and she contributed pencils to the 2010 graphic novel The Adventures of Unemployed Man, the 2012 graphic novel The Dinosaur That Got Tired of Being Extinct, and the collection The Art of Ramona Fradon. Kashdan’s concept involved a character made up of four elements who could change into different chemical compounds, Haney fleshed out the idea with a “deliciously overdrawn” cast. Kashdan, Haney, and Fradon worked together to create Metamorpho’s look, He wasn’t your average superhero so capes, I tried a lot of those and finally decided that since he was always changing his shape, clothes would get in his way. So I drew him in tights, with a made up of four different colors. Fradon enjoyed her collaboration with Haney because “his goofy stories gave me ideas about how the characters should look and act, I think that’s probably true—at least I always did. I thought that was a big failing of mine, that I couldn’t emulate that kind of photographic reproduction style, when I read that this seemed to be a characteristic of women cartoonists, it made me feel a bit better about it. Something that always jarred my eyes is to see the kind of heaviness and ugliness about most comic art, there’s not much sweetness to it

Perry Mason
–
Perry Mason is a fictional character, a criminal defense lawyer who is the main character in works of detective fiction written by Erle Stanley Gardner. Perry Mason is featured in more than 80 novels and short stories, typically, Mason establishes his clients innocence by implicating another character, who then confesses. The character of Perry Mason was adapted for motion pictures and a radio series. These were followed by its adaptation, the CBS television series Perry Mason starring Raymond Burr. The Perry Mason series ranks third in the top ten best selling book series, in 2015 the American Bar Associations publishing imprint, Ankerwycke, began reissuing Gardners Perry Mason books, which had been out of print in the United States. The name Perry Mason dates to creator Gardners childhood, as a child, Gardner was a reader of the magazine Youths Companion. The magazine was published in Boston, Massachusetts, by the Perry Mason Company, when Gardner created his fictional attorney, he borrowed the name of the company which published his favorite childhood magazine. Gardner provided more information about Masons character in the novels, knowledge of his character is largely taken for granted in the later works. In the first novel, Mason describes himself, Youll find that Im a lawyer who has specialized in trial work, and in a lot of criminal work. Im a specialist on getting people out of trouble. They come to me when theyre in all sorts of trouble, If you look me up through some chap in the District Attorneys office, hell tell you that Im a dangerous antagonist but he doesnt know very much about me. Gardner depicts Mason as a lawyer who fights hard on behalf of his clients and he frequently accepts clients on a whim based on his curiosity about their problem, for a minimal retainer, and finances the investigation of their cases himself if necessary. In The Case of the Caretakers Cat, his principal antagonist, District Attorney Hamilton Burger, says, when you turn your mind to the solution of a crime, you ferret out the truth. The Court feels you are capable of looking after your own as well as your clients interests. Another frequent antagonist, Lieutenant Arthur Tragg of the squad, has a discussion with Mason about his approach to the law. Mason is recovering from having been poisoned, and Tragg is investigating and he says, How does it feel to be the victim for once. … Youve been sticking up for criminals and now you can see the side of the picture. Not sticking up for criminals, protested indignantly, I have never stuck up for any criminal. I have merely asked for the administration of an impartial justice … Due legal process is my own safeguard against being convicted unjustly
