Today’s discussion in question is How About a Movie for the Yellow kid? Hi, I’m Gail Nobles & you’re listening to the Jasper Lines. How about a movie for the Yellow Kid? The Yellow Kid is an American comic strip character that appeared from 1895 to 1898 in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, and later William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal. Created and drawn by Richard F. Outcault in the comic strip Hogan's Alley (and later under other names as well), it was one of the first Sunday supplement comic strips in an American newspaper, although its graphical layout had already been thoroughly established in political and other, purely-for-entertainment cartoons. Outcault's use of word balloons in the Yellow Kid influenced the basic appearance and use of balloons in subsequent newspaper comic strips and comic books.The Yellow Kid was a bald, snaggle-toothed barefoot boy who wore an oversized yellow nightshirt and hung around in a slum alley typical of certain areas of squalor that existed in late 19th-century New York City. Hogan's Alley was filled with equally odd characters, mostly other children. With a goofy grin, the Kid habitually spoke in a ragged, peculiar slang, which was printed on his shirt, a device meant to lampoon advertising billboards.There were other versions of the Yellow Kid. He made an appearance in Marvel Universe.Of course with Marvel, he had powers. He could discharge some type of yellow energy. That was their version of Yellow Kid. There were other versions of him too.The Yellow Kid was an interesting character. How about a movie for the Yellow Kid. I think he would make a good one. Marvel’s version of the Yellow Kid is a good idea. Their version would fit into today’s cartoons. I’m Gail Nobles & you’re listening to the Jasper Lines.
