What is a comic strip?
A comic strip is a sequence of cartoons that tells a story, often humorous, though action-adventure, science fiction and soap opera-like dramas are also popular. Strips are written and drawn by a comics artist or cartoonist, and many are published on a recurring basis – usually daily or weekly – in newspapers and on the internet.
