Buster Brown — Omaha Daily Bee, July 19, 1908

The full front page of this Sunday edition carries a comics section reference, situating *Buster Brown* within the weekly ritual that made American newspaper Sunday pages the direct ancestor of the comic book. Created by Richard F. Outcault — already famous for *Yellow Kid* — Buster is a well-dressed boy whose mischief always ends in a moralizing 'Resolution' speech, a formula Outcault refined into a recurring character with a consistent visual identity: sailor suit, bowl cut, mischievous grin, and loyal dog Tige. That structure — repeated cast, panel-to-panel action, speech balloons carrying both dialogue and inner thought — is the visual grammar modern comics inherited directly from these Sunday pages.
