The world cartoon originated from earlier than I said though I can't remember which English comic it comes from.

[@hermes3386]

@@Gambit771 While Rodolphe Töpffer is widely recognized as the inventor of modern comic strips, it is true that other artists contributed to the early development of this medium. George Moutard Woodward (1760-1809), a British caricaturist, played a role in the evolution of illustrated narratives. In 1796, he published "Eccentric Excursions," an illustrated travelogue that combined text and images in an innovative way. However, his work does not exactly fit the modern definition of a comic strip. Samuel William Fores, on the other hand, was a London publisher of the same era known for publishing satirical caricatures and engravings. Although he contributed to the dissemination of graphic art, his role in the invention of comic strips is less direct than that of Töpffer. It is important to note that Töpffer made several crucial innovations: 1. He created a new narrative form by combining text and images in an inseparable manner. 2. He theorized about the complementarity of the readable and the visible in his works. 3. His "stories in prints" are considered the first true comic strips, featuring recurring characters like Mr. Jabot and Mr. Vieux Bois. While Woodward and Fores contributed to the evolution of illustrated narratives, it is Töpffer who is generally credited with laying the foundations for modern comic strips as we know them today.
