-How The Katzenjammer Kids became "The Shenanigan Kids".
The Katzenjammer Kids is an American comic strip created by Rudolph Dirks in 1897 and later drawn by Harold Knerr for 35 years (1914 to 1949).[1] It debuted on December 12, 1897, in the American Humorist, the Sunday supplement of William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal.
After a series of legal battles between 1912 and 1914, Dirks left the Hearst organization and began a new strip, first titled Hans and Fritz and then The Captain and the Kids. It featured the same characters seen in The Katzenjammer Kids, which was continued by Knerr.
Between December 1916 and August 1918, 37 Katzenjammer Kids silent cartoon shorts were produced and shown in movie theaters. The series was retired in 1918 at the height of the characters' popularity – partly because of the growing tension against titles with German associations after World War I. The comic strip was briefly renamed to "The Shenanigan Kids" around this time.

- Caspar Milquetoast is a fictional character created by H. T. Webster for his comic strip The Timid Soul. Webster described Caspar Milquetoast as "the man who speaks softly and gets hit with a big stick". In The Netherlands, the comic was published in the 1930's as "Frederik Fluweel", a comic that is said to have inspired Marc Sleen for the creation of "Piet Fluwijn" in the 1940's.

-Moon Mullins is an American comic strip which had a run as both a daily and Sunday feature from June 19, 1923, to June 2, 1991. Syndicated by the Chicago Tribune/New York News Syndicate, the strip depicts the lives of diverse lowbrow characters who reside at the Schmaltz (later Plushbottom) boarding house. The central character, Moon (short for Moonshine), is a would-be prizefighter—perpetually strapped for cash but with a roguish appetite for vice and high living.
