Buster Brown — The Sun (New York), May 7, 1911

The image is a full broadsheet sports page from *The Sun* (New York), and the comic strip itself is not legibly reproducible at this resolution — panels, characters, and dialogue are too compressed to describe with confidence. What the page *does* confirm is the cultural context: by 1911, Sunday newspaper supplements had already established the visual grammar comics still use — sequential panels, speech balloons, recurring child protagonists — with Richard Outcault's *Buster Brown* (launched 1902) among the most widely syndicated. Outcault's earlier *Yellow Kid* had proved a strip character could anchor a newspaper's identity. These pages are the direct ancestors of the comic book format that would consolidate in the 1930s.
