After the success of Hogan Alley, that ran in the New York World for a little over a year in the mid-1890s, Outcault created Buster Brown, a regular feature in the New York Herald, beginning in 1902. The adventures of Buster Brown, the mischievous son of wealthy, urban parents, were considered subversive by some and conservative by others. Nevertheless, the series was hugely successful, so much so, that the characters were used to market products from food and cigars to clothing and shoes.
