How is a comic strip different from other forms of comic?

It is a strip carrtoon, several panels per day- a lengthy story can thus be serialized but this is not too common at present. All of the comic strips in the Jersey Journal are humorous and laugh at the end of the panel things. This contrasts with adventure strips such as Brick Bradford- which could keep a basic plot alive for months! something has jhappened to dumb down Cartoons.
