EXTRA! Hearst’s Yellow Kid Art Trampled – Outcault Furious


 UNSIGNED TRACING OF YELLOW KID ART! 

 ORIGINAL!   New York Journal, Sunday, October 18, 1896. 

 TRACED!   The Denver Evening Post, Friday, October 23, 1896.


W.R. HEARST & R.F. OUTCAULT. The Historic, Glorious, Grand and Colorful move the Yellow Kid made from Pulitzer’s The World to Hearst’s New York Journal on Sunday, 18 October 1896 had a peculiar follow-up, five days later, in The Denver Evening Post, which published a badly traced black-and-white version of the first Hearst page. No further details known. But had Outcault known he would have been furious. The Kid even misses a foot. Click and compare!

    great find!
    In his history of the American Newspaper (1911), the chapter on the spread of Yellow Journalism, Will Irwin said that 'the Denver Post even out-yellowed Hearst.'
