Few people know that 100 years ago yellow journalism got it's name from America's first comic strip--"The Yellow Kid." A purely American art form the comics have been going strong ever since, giving is our daily dose of fun and laughter. The Postal Service estimates 113 million Americans read the Sunday comics regularly!
The 1995 Comic Strip Classics stamps illustrate 20 strips from the first 50 years of the "funnies". The back of each stamp features a capsule history of the comics on the front.
