Cartoons & Comics

I thought this article was kinda of interesting. The author showed how comic strips changed as the culture changed. The comic characters started as a "Street Thug" and went to funny realistic characters then went to super heroes, and eventually got involved with politics. I thought that was pretty cool how it evolved the way it did. Now when you see a comic strip it could be about anything you can possibly think of. I also think its interesting how it helped movie makers produce a climax and build a good story line. Even though I have never been a big comic fan I think the history of it is pretty cool!
