The Yellow Kid is the name of a comic strip character. He appeared from 1895 to 1898 in the "New York World", and later in the "New York Journal". The Yellow Kid was created and drawn by Richard F. Outcault in the comic strip "Hogan's Alley". It was one of the first Sunday supplement comic strips in an American newspaper. Its graphical layout had already been established in political and other, purely-for-entertainment cartoons.
