Rather Than Beginning His Inquiry With The Popularly Accepted Sequential Art Definition Of The Comic Strip, Smolderen Instead Wishes To Engage With The Historical Dimensions That Inform That Definition. His Goal Is To Understand The Processes That Led To The Twentieth-century Comic Strip, The Highly Recognizable Species Of Picture Stories That He Sees Crystallizing Around 1900 In The United States.
