Comic strips, as a medium created in order to narrate a story or spread a message to an audience, can be traced back to ancient societies i.e. Egyptian hieroglyphics.In the middle Ages a type of story telling using drawings came in fashion as a way to teach the stories of the Bible to the illiterate masses.However, comics as we know them in modern times, have been around since the 18th century.
Back then, the comic characters were humans -usually politicians or representatives of social classes- and the aim of the comic strip was mainly satirical .Look at the comic strip below depicting social classes in revolutionary France.Following the growing number of published newspapers and magazines in industrial European societies of the 19th and 20th century,comics became a widely recognizable form of art.
