comic strip \com"ic strip`\ (k[o^]m"[i^]k str[i^]p), n.
a brief sequence of drawings, usually with characters drawn
only sketchily, as in a cartoon, with dialog written in
``balloons'' over a character's head, and depicting a
fictional and usually comical incident; -- also called a
{cartoon}. Each comic strip contains typically from four to
six panels arranged horizontally, but widely varying
arrangements are published. In modern newspapers, weekly
comic strips are in color, and daily strips are usually in
black and white. In some, the story depicted may be
serialized and continuous, carried over from day to day or
week to week. Stories of adventure, drama, mystery or an
otherwise non-comical nature depicted in the same style are
also called comic strips.
