Cartoonist Randy Bish poses Feb. 11 with his recent illustration work, a comic book celebrating 125 years of The Yellow Kid by Chris Yambar of Youngstown, Ohio.

Its star attraction: The Yellow Kid; Hearst had lured Outcault away. To replace him, Pulitzer hired George Luks, then a little-known painter, to draw a Yellow Kid for the World.

As its subtitle indicates, the show covers a lot of history, beginning in 1896 with “The Yellow Kid” and concluding with a video screen that cycles through examples of almost 20 Web comics ...

Yellow Kid first appeared in an American comic in the late 19th century, and Hattori revived him as an older character a century later. Starring Kaname Endo Ryo Iwase Marie Machida.
