Early Comics
Early depictions of the traditional comic where more or less a glimpse into the "normal everyday" of the people. I catered to the common folk and didn't depict grand overarching stories or multi-issued plots that needed multiple runs in order to tell a story. Instead I saw the early comics akin to that of court jester. A piece of medium for the average folk to view and relate to and even laugh at. Like the early comics of Hogarth, It was made not as a piece of art following the traditional "prison of rules" but instead viewed as a medium of expression and freedom. In some aspects it has the challenge of conveying an entire story all with in a single frame even. From cause to effect.Additionally the early comics didn't have words but instead expressed it purely through visuals and illustrations. This was possibly due to in part that the comic depicted relatable content to its readers.
