Daily strip refers to a daily comic in American newspapers that appears in the Monday to Saturday editions. A Sunday strip is printed on Sundays . The first daily strip appeared in 1903 (see also comic strip ).

Usually daily strips are black and white, although some newspapers in the late 20th century published them in color. They appear mainly as “strips” - wider than high - or as “panels” (board, surface), then they are higher than wide. Most of the time, strips are divided into several smaller panels, with the story continuing from panel to panel.

Early daily strips were large and often ran the width of the paper; sometimes they were several inches high. Initially, only one strip per day was printed per newspaper, either at the top or bottom of the page. By the 1920s , many newspapers already had an entire comic book page that compiled various comic strips. Over time, the daily strips became smaller and smaller, until the beginning of the 21st century, four normal daily strips only took up the space that was originally required by a single strip.

The comic star Hawks briefly experimented with a double-row daily strip , but returned to the classic single-row form after a few years.

Many webcomics are structured around the daily strips .
