A form of comics that was born in connection with newspapers. RF Outcault (1863-1923) started out by drawing single-panel cartoons, but in 1894 he began serializing "Hougang Alley" in the New York newspaper The World. The main character, a bald boy who always wears pajamas, rampages through the slums of New York. His ferocious vitality made him popular, and the newspaper's circulation increased. He was nicknamed the "Yellow Kid" because the printer used the wrong yellow ink, and he was eventually bought by the Hearst group of newspapers. This led to the term "yellow journalism" being used to describe newspapers that sell flashy articles. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
新聞と結びついて生まれた漫画の一つの形式。アウトコールトR.F.Outcault(1863‐1923)は,はじめひとこまものの漫画を描いていたが,1894年にニューヨークの新聞《ワールド》に〈ホウガン路地〉を連載し始めた。いつも寝巻を着ていて,頭に毛のない主人公の男の子がニューヨークの貧民街で力いっぱい暴れまわる。その猛烈な生命力が人気を得て,新聞も部数を伸ばした。黄色いインクをまちがって印刷工がたらしたために〈黄色小僧〉(イェロー・キッド)とあだ名され,やがてハースト系新聞に買われたが,このことからはでな記事で売る新聞を〈イェロー・ジャーナリズム〉と呼ぶようになった。
