| Calvin & Hobbes representing a typical comic strip. |
A comic strip is similar to a comic book in that it is one panel or more that conveys a story with art and words together. In fact, comic strips were the precursors to comics in that the first comic books were just
reprinted strips repackaged in a magazine format.

Comic strips have existed in various forms throughout human history, eventually evolving into the format we all knew today in newspapers and magazines. The title of the first newspaper strip is often given to
The Yellow Kid. Many strips have come and gone, but others have run for decades without any signs of stopping.

As some strips grew in popularity, television executives took note and brought those concepts to life in animation. Some of them even on Saturday mornings. So, with
The Peanuts Movie hitting theaters, what better time to take a look at those strips that were adapted into Saturday morning toons? It's Comic Strip Month on Saturday Mornings Forever.
