Here’s a fun example of F.M. Howarth’s strip The Love of Lulu and Leander by F.M. Howarth from 1903. Lulu and Leander is apparently one of the earliest domestic strips. The big-head artwork for this strip is pretty bizarre. Click the image to read the strip.

A Katzenjammer Kids strip from 1903 by Rudolph Dirks. Click the image below to read the strip. The coloring on a lot of these early strips is pretty interesting. A lot of time they have areas of the line art appear in a solid color, rather than just leaving it black… note how the line art for the bricks in this strip is red and the other line work is blue. Note also you can see Happy Hooligan soaking through from the other side of the page. Click the below image to view the entire strip.
