Comic Strip

A comic strip is a short form of sequential art, published in newspapers or magazines and often humorous in nature but can also include political, drama, adventure or slice-of-life narratives. Stories are often told in a serialised fashion over several days or weeks; traditionally in black-and-white short pieces during the week with a larger, full colour publication on Saturdays. 
==Fandom==
Fan activities take two forms with relation to comic strips: production of comic strips by fans as fancomics relating to a particular fandom; and fandoms based on specific comic strips. 
===Comic Strips as Fanworks.===
Fannish comic strips created by fans can cover a wide range of topics, from particular aspects of the source fandom to the fannish experience itself. While the medium had its heyday during the height of the zine years (the 1960s to the early 1990s), webcomics use the comic strip format to tell stories in a new media. Memes, also, borrow the four-panel format of comic strips, the difference being that memes use existing and/or repeating images for the same effect. Examples of such memes include Gru's Plan, the Darkest Timeline meme from Community, the America Chopper Argument meme (pictured) and the For the Better, Right? meme from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.
