what is comic strip example

A comic strip is a series of adjacent images, usually arranged horizontally, that are designed to be read as a narrative or a chronological sequence. The story is usually original in this form, and words may be introduced within or near each image, or they may be dispensed with altogether. If words functionally dominate the image, it then becomes merely illustration to a text. The comic strip is essentially a mass medium, printed in a magazine, a newspaper, or a book. Comic strips have been around since the late 19th century and early 20th century and have included themes such as light humor, superheroes, adventure, crime, and drama. Examples of comic strips include Peanuts, Nancy, Blondie, Garfield, Superman, Spider-Man, and The Phantom.
