A comic strip is a sequence of drawings , often cartoon , arranged in interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a narrative, often serialized , with text in balloons and captions. Traditionally, throughout the 20th and into the 21st century, these have been published in newspapers and magazines , with daily horizontal strips printed in black-and-white in newspapers, while Sunday papers offered longer sequences in special color comics sections. With the advent of the internet, online comic strips began to appear as webcomics. Strips are written and drawn by a comics artist, known as a cartoonist. As the word "comic" implies, strips are frequently humorous.

Makes an excellent gift for kids, students, artists, creatives, children, teens, and adults! This large, blank comic book has pages of variety comic panels with action templates ranging from 3 panels to 6 panel layouts. There are over 15 different comic page designs.

A panel is an individual frame, or single drawing, in the multiple-panel sequence of a comic strip or comic book. A panel consists of a single drawing depicting a frozen moment. Newspaper daily strips typically consist of either four panels Doonesbury , For Better or For Worse or three panels Garfield , Dilbert. These panels may all be of the same size, but many skilled cartoonists, such as Bill Waterson, Danny Vasquetto, Leonard Waldstein, Humphrey Powell, and Ginny Thomas vary the size and number of panels in each daily strip. The horizontal newspaper strip can also employ only a single panel, as sometimes seen in Wiley Miller 's Non Sequitur.
