Well, I guess it could be argued both whether this cartoon actually was a "comic", and whether it actually was a "strip". -- Or a "comic strip"? Or a "cartoon comic strip"?
I removed the following sentence: "In the 1940s, Milton Caniff's comic strip Terry and the Pirates featured a recurring character named Big Stoop who was drawn as a caricature of Outcault's Yellow Kid. " I had never heard of this. My one reference book does not mention this. And the only references in Google are to . . . Wikipedia. Thanks, BayBoy 03:00, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
The article said that Yellow Kid moved in 1897. However, another source said that the strip entitled The Yellow Kid was first published on the New York Journal in 1896. Which is truth? -- Kasuga 14:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
The Yellow King of Comics I changed "one of the first comic strips" into "the first comic strip". We all can discuss the hell out of this but most literature mentions Hogan's Alley as 'often considered as the first comic strip'. signed, master-of-comicstrips
"The sensationalistic journalism practiced by these two "yellow papers" led to the term yellow journalism."
But this only implies (if at that) that these papers were referred to as "yellow papers" because they carried the Yellow Kid. If this is true, then it should be explicitly mentioned IMO; if it is not true, then the reference should be removed in its entirety.

The Yellow Kid wasn't the first to use them. Word balloons can be found in political cartoons from the 18th century. [1] Gwen Gale 08:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

If Neuman was not influenced by YK then why did someone else put his name under the See Also section? Poppyzbrite ( talk) 21:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
To get to GA, I think this article would need an expanded lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article. [?] The publication section could also be cut into two, with one being titled Cultural impact. Beyond that, I think it's a cert for GA status. Hiding T 12:34, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
There's a discussion on which comic-related articles should be listed as "Top Importance" on the importance scale, and I feel this article should not be included. If any user disagrees or wishes to contribute, please do so there. Argento Surfer ( talk) 14:50, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

One thing not mentioned here, which I remember reading some time back... is that this strip originated the cartoon convention of drawing a dead character with X's for eyes. Apparently George Luks was told by his editor to "excise" a particular unpopular character, and George (whether through misunderstanding or a fondness for puns) eliminated him in exactly this manner. 63.156.219.125 ( talk) 00:06, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
