Daily comic strip

On the web, daily newspaper strips are usually in colour, and conversely, some Webcomics, such as Joyce and Walky, has been created in black and white.

Writer-artist Jim Scancarelli attempts an overlap by inserting daily gags into his Gasoline Alley continuity storylines.

By the 1920s, many newspapers gathered the strips together on a single page, along with news articles, columns, puzzles and/or other illustrated features.

This had the advantage of making space for additional strips but often resulted in a crowded, unattractive page design.

More often during the 1930s and 1940s, the title was typeset (in all upper case letters) and positioned to the right in the white space area above that strip, with the byline on the right.

In rare cases, some newspapers assembled pages of stacked strips minus titles, leaving more than a few confused readers.

Early daily strips were large, often running the entire width of the newspaper, and were sometimes three or more inches in height.

The popularity and accessibility of strips meant they were often clipped and saved or posted on bulletin boards or refrigerators.

[9] Comics historian Bill Blackbeard had tens of thousands of daily strips clipped and organized chronologically.
