A little history on the Comic Strip.
Elements of the comic strip form can be found in antiquity, where Vergil in the Aeneid describes a tapestry that retraces the events of the Trojan War. The Bayeux tapestry, from the Middle Ages, retraces the hostilities leading to the Battle of Hastings. Narrative strips, usually in the form of woodcuts, became a popular medium for the expression of religious and political ideas during the Reformation. Although these were not representative of today's comic strip, they did tell a story in a simple form.

Is it possible to be embarrassed twenty years after the fact? I was cleaning out old boxes and found the autobiography that my middle daughter had written in the sixth grade. I call it the "expose." She tells all. It could compete with "Mommy Dearest" if I were a dead movie star. On one page, my daughter spews, "My mom yells at my dad a lot unless she wants him to do something like take out the trash. Then she calls him handsome, good-looking or muscles."

t was only the other day that I learnt that the first recorded use of contraception was
in 2000BC by the Egyptians. I can't say why I learned the fact, just as I can't fathom
out why I still know the words to "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" thirty years or so after
its release. These things seep into the brain and stick like chewing gum to a sock
there to annoy one for all time. But try to remember to take the cake out of the oven
or to pick up your sunglasses off the chemist's counterÂ… not a hope in hell.
