Early daily strips were large and often went over the entire width of the newspaper; sometimes they were several inches high. Initially, only one per newspaper daily strip was printed, either at the top or bottom of the page. In the 20s many newspapers already had a whole comic page were compiled on the various comic strips. Over time, the daily strips became smaller and smaller, until the beginning of the 21st century four normal daily strips only occupied the space that was originally required by a single strip.
