    What is Superman’s name


    in everyday life ?

    Who helped Batman ?

    How does Spiderman catch his


    enemies ?
    This is Asterix the Gaul.
    He lived in about 50 BCE.

    Who was Obelix?
    Who was he fighting against?
    This is Tintin. He appears
    in comic books.

    What is the name of
    Tintin’s dog ?
    What is the name of
    Tintin’s sailor friend ?
    What do Snoopy and Charlie
    Brown, Superman and Asterix all
    have in common?
    They don’t seem to be alike.
    Answer:
    They all appear in COMIC STRIPS. 
    What is a comic strip?
    · It is a story told in a
    series of drawings.
    · The drawings are side
    by side in a box.
    · Very often, the characters’
    words appear in a speech bubble.
    How long have comic strips been around?

    By the 1890’s, competition from


    daily newspapers in the United States
    was affecting the sales of weekly
    magazines. So, the magazines came up
    with the idea of the comic strip.
    “The Yellow Kid” was the first
    character to appear in a comic
    strip.
    Then, the daily newspapers copied
    the idea. They began publishing
    comic strips, too. “Mutt and Jeff”
    first appeared in 1907.
    Comic books began in
    1933 and by 1938
    “Superman” made his
    first appearance.
    “Superman” was a great
    success. “Batman”
    followed a year
    later with his
    sidekick, Robin.
    Many other super-heroes followed.
    Have you heard of “The Human
    Torch”, “Captain Marvel”
    and “Wonder Woman” ?
    In the 1960’s,
    Spider-Man
    appeared.
    Comics carry you away from your
    everyday lives. They put you in a
    world of fun, fantasy and
    adventure. You can travel back
    in time, or forwards into the
    future. With comics, anything is
    possible.
    Let’s take a look at the
    difference between
    a regular man
    and a super - hero.
    The super-hero is larger, with
    broader shoulders. His muscles
    are a lot bigger. He’s more
    impressive than any average
    guy. There’s nothing
    weak about him.
    What about the bad guy?
    He’s heavy and strong.

    His feet are firmly on the ground.

    His hands are powerful.

    His face is evil.

    He can put fear into


    anyone.
    Now it’s your turn to draw this
    “nice” fellow. This is The Kingpin.
    First, divide your page into five
    horizontal segments.
    Then, draw in the shape of the
    head in the middle of the first
    segment.
    Next, sketch the round body in
    the next two segments.
    After that, draw his shoulders
    and arms.
    His head is fixed firmly into his
    shoulders. You can’t see his neck.
    Finally, draw his wide, short legs
    in the last two segments..
    You now have the shape of The
    Kingpin. Draw in his angry face.
    Then, draw in his clothes. He’s
    wearing a shirt, jacket and pants.
    He’s a real tough guy.
    Comic strips first appeared
    over 100 years ago. They became
    a great success and are
    still popular today.
    But some comics have been
    animated.
    You can see them on TV.
    The Simpson family first
    appeared on TV in 1989. “The
    Simpsons” is a humorous look at
    life in middle class America. Homer
    Simpson with his bald head and
    fat stomach. Marge Simpson
    and her tall hairdo.

    They are there to make you smile.


    There’s Homer and Marge Simpson.
    But do you know the names of
    their three children?
    What is the name of the
    town they live in?
    Do you know who created
    the Simpson family?

    Let’s go into a website about the Simpsons and find out.


    Answer:
    Their children are Bart, Lisa and
    Baby Maggie.
    They live in Springfield.
    Matt Groening created them.
    Comics are fun and entertaining: Charlie
    Brown, Superman, Asterix, or Superman.
    They are a good way to get you to read.
    Look for comic strips in a newspaper
    or a magazine. Look for comics in
    a local bookshop or in the library.
