1. William Randolph Hearst and the Comics
- www.psu.edu
- Integrative Arts 10 William Randolph Hearst and the Comics By Joseph F. ...
- There might have been newspaper comics without William Randolph Hearst, but it's hard to imagine what they'd have been like. With Hearst's aggressive support, the "funnies" thrived through the tumultuous early years and evolved into one of this country's few indigenous art forms. In the hundred years since Hearst first set his sights on the Yellow Kid, the comics have reflected and contributed to our language and culture. ... Today, 44 years after Hearst's death, the comics claim an estimated 113 million loyal readers the U. ...
- It was the publishing magnate Hearst who grasped the potential of the earliest "Sunday funnies" and turned them into a big, booming, modern business enterprise -- eventually syndicating them from New York City into America's hamlets and valleys, opening the gates for the great parade of comic stars to come. In the process, Hearst pioneered the art of promoting pen-and-ink personalities and furthered the careers of many brilliant cartoonists, while largely shaping the popular tastes of several generations of comics fans.
- It was in Joseph Pulitzer's NEW YORK WORLD that cartoonist Richard Outcault's legendary Yellow Kid made his newspaper debut in 1895, but it was Hearst's NEW YORK JOURNAL that cannily snatched the Kid away from the rival sheet and deployed him as a key weapon in the historic newspaper circulation wars. The Kid led the charge in Hearst's trailblazing AMERICAN HUMORIST comic supplement, with it's famous motto: "Eight Pages of Iridescent Polychromous Effulgence That Makes The Rainbow Look Like A Lead Pipe!" Pulitzer fought back by hiring another artist to draw Outcault's character for the WORLD. ...
- The Kid holds title as the star of the first successful comic feature, but it was years before his debut that a troupe of little bears first appeared in Hearst's SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER, demonstrating the power of continuing characters to engage readers. ...
- In 1897, having grasped the potential of compelling comic characters to sell papers, Hearst remembered two mischievous German lads from the picture books of his childhood -- Max and Moritz, their names were -- and ordered cartoonist Rudolph Dirks to create a couple of pranksters just like them. ...
- In 1900, Hearst introduced the slapstick antics of Frederick Opper's HAPPY HOOLIGAN, who also became immensely popular with the public. Together, Opper, Swinnerton, Outcault, and Dirks are credited as the main founding fathers of the modern comic strip, but its growth was also shaped also by Hearst's determination to see the "funnies" reach their full potential. By the turn of the century, other publishers across the country were scrambling to get good comics into their papers, and experimenting with ways to present them; Hearst continued to lead the way.
- In the early 1900s, before Mutt and Jeff became the stars of the first regular daily newspaper strip, early black-and-white comics had begun appearing sporadically on weekdays in Hearst newspapers. In 1912, Hearst's NEW YORK EVENING JOURNAL introduced the first full page of daily comics on weekdays. Hearst's comic features were among the first to be reprinted in booklet form; the popularity of such reprints set the stage for modern comic books. In 1916, Hearst's International Film Service was among the pioneer animation studios, making movie stars out of the characters from the Hearst newspaper strips, including BRINGING UP FATHER, HAPPY HOOLIGAN, MAUD THE MULE, KRAZY KAT and a raft of others.

- The civil penalty action was filed as a related case to the Federal Trade Commission's pending federal court permanent injunction case against Hearst and its subsidiary First DataBank.

- The civil penalty complaint allegations stem from the January 1998 acquisition of Medi-Span, based in Indianapolis, by Hearst, headquartered in New York City, and First DataBank, Hearst's San Bruno, California, subsidiary.

- According to the complaint, on December 12, 1997, Hearst filed a Notification and Report Form with the agencies. ...

- Hearst Castle, designed by Julia Morgan.
- Although Phoebe Apperson Hearst had aided Julia Morgan's early career, her more famous son, William Randolph Hearst, the publishing magnate, art collector, and movie producer, entered Morgan's life with the commissioning of a Sausalito house (1912-14), which was never built, and a cottage on his Grand Canyon property (1914), since demolished. ... Morgan was involved with the Hearst Castle project from 1919 until 1948. Thus, the association of Hearst and Morgan lasted over thirty-five years.
- In 1919 Hearst and Morgan began discussions about a residence on the top of a hill in the Santa Lucia mountains near San Simeon--a hilltop called "Camp Hill" by the family. Hearst and his family had camped on this hill in tents erected on wooden platforms when they vacationed on his 250,000 acre Piedra Blanca Ranch during the first two decades of the 20th century. Although the estate was given the formal name, La Cuesta Encantada, Hearst usually referred to it as "the ranch" (meaning the 250,000 acre ranch). ...
- Morgan was not only responsible for these buildings but for designing five Mission style residences for Hearst's top employees and a Mission style warehouse in the town of San Simeon (as well as overseeing the constuction of four utilitarian steel warehouses in San Simeon)-- to house Hearst's extensive art collections. ...
- In 1957 the Hearst Corporation gave ownership of the estate to California. ...

In the early 1930's, Hearst owned a good deal of timber acreage; one might say that he had the monopoly on this market. ... Hearst cleverly utilized his immense national network of newspapers and magazines to spread wildly inaccurate and sensational stories of the evils of cannabis or "marihuana," a phrase brought into the common parlance, in part due to frequent mentions in his publications. ...
- The sheer number of newspapers, tabloids, magazines and film reels that Hearst controlled enabled him to quickly and to effectively inundate American media with this propaganda. Hearst preyed on existing prejudices by associating cannabis with Mexican workers who threatened to steal American jobs and African-Americans who had long been the subject of white American venom (see accompanying articles). An ironic side-note: much of this racism had already been perpetrated by the propaganda of Hearst, an unabashed racist. ...
