The Little Bears

The Little Bears

"The Little Bears" may have been the first American comic strip. Drawn by James Swinnerton, it began its run in 1893 in the "San Francisco Examiner", one of William Randolph Hearst's newspapers. From 1892 it sometimes appeared under the title "Little Bears & Tykes", and in 1896 following a switch to the "New York Journal", Swinnerton's feature was named "The Little Tigers".cite web |last= Don Markstein's Toonopedia |title= Jimmy Swinnerton |url=http://www.toonopedia.com/swinnert.htm ] The change of animals apparently took place at the request of Hearst.cite web |last= Don Markstein's Toonopedia |title= The Escapades of Mr. Jack |url=http://www.toonopedia.com/mrjack.htm ] Gradually a defined, philandering character emerged from the strip, and on November 1, 1903, the Sunday feature had evolved into "Mr. Jack". The Little bears has spawned its own television program and peanut-flavoured chewing gum.
