Strip Cartoon Section

The Strip Cartoon Section was a weekly Sunday Pictorial feature that ran for 35 issues from 1938, offering a rotating lineup of serialized comic strips to British newspaper readers. While no single creator dominates its legacy, the series served as a crucial platform for the development of the newspaper comic strip format in the UK, showcasing the era’s popular adventure and humor strips in a dedicated section. Its importance lies in being an early, sustained example of a curated comics supplement within a major national newspaper, paving the way for similar features in the decades that followed.
