One of the first comics in circulation was certainly the series "The Katzenjammer Kids" by Rudolph Dirks, published in "American humorist," Supplement to the U.S. daily "Morning Journal" Randolph Hearst in the late nineteenth century (in 1897) and a few years later appeared on the pages of the "Corriere dei Piccoli" where the two boys were called Hans and Fritz Bibi and Bibo. In 1917 the WR Hearst's International Film Service produces about twenty episodes in animation. The series is entitled Original Katzenjammer Kids as Hearts had won his case against the fugitive Rudolph Dirk fact that he continued to come up with a different title ("The Captain and the Kids") the adventures of two rogues and their supporting cast. The animated series, without words but with the help of a soundtrack commentary for the shares was suspended in 1918 because of poor relations that the United States were starting to get to Germany. Present it again is a real treat for fans!
In 1938 it was the turn of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation that fits in the series of Captain and the Kids . Despite an exceptional team of animators (William Hanna, Bob Allen and Friz Freleng), the series has not happened and will stop at the fifteenth episode. Here is Captain Cocoricò to be the true protagonist. The series is not too faithful to the original comic strip so much so inspired by the Merry Melodies and Silly Symphonies Disney!
