About the series
Published in the New York American and Journal from 1896 to 1898, American Humorist was a pioneering comic series that helped define the Sunday funnies, most famously showcasing R. F. Outcault’s iconic Yellow Kid. Running 75 issues, it featured a rotating roster of artists and writers, including Anderson and E. W. Kemble, who contributed to the strip’s boisterous, satirical tone. This series matters as a landmark of early newspaper comics, capturing the rowdy spirit of Gilded Age America through its colorful, often irreverent humor.
