I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did Outcault's The Yellow Kid appear in newspapers?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Towards the close of the 20th century, these three traditions converged in a trend towards book-length comics: the comics album in Europe, the tankōbon[a] in Japan, and the graphic novel in the English-speaking countries.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
