The Yellow Kid was the name of a lead comic strip character that ran from 1895 to 1898 in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World, and later William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal. Created and drawn by Richard F. Outcault in the comic strip Hogan's Alley (and later under other names as well), it was one of the first Sunday supplement comic strips in an American newspaper, although its graphical layout had already been thoroughly established in political and other, purely-for-entertainment cartoons. The Yellow Kid is also famous for its connection to the coining of the term "yellow journalism".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mickey Dugan, better known as The Yellow Kid, was a bald, snaggle-toothed boy who wore an oversized yellow nightshirt and hung around in a slum alley typical of certain areas of squalor that existed in late 19th-century New York City. Hogan's Alley was filled with equally odd characters, mostly other children. With a goofy grin, the Kid habitually spoke in a ragged, peculiar slang, which was printed on his shirt, a device meant to lampoon advertising billboards.Many of his original adventures can be read here.

Combat Pragmatist: During a boxing match, he brings in a goat to take out his opponent for him. To his credit, Yellow Kid crowns the goat the fight's true winner while saying that he shouldn't be boxing in the first place since he's just a kid.

Early Installment Weirdness: "Mickey" was originally the name of a completely different character back when Hogan's Alley was still running in Truth magazine.

Character Blog: A number of his comics came with text blurbs written from Mickey's perspective and with his grammatical quirks intact.

Ascended Extra: Originally a nameless background character who became a more fleshed out cast member before ultimately becoming the star of the strip.

Expressive Shirt: Probably the Trope Maker. Although he occasionally talks in a more regular fashion.
