Early years:
The strip originated on the Chicago Tribune's black-andwhite Sunday page, The Rectangle, where staff artists contributed one-shot panels, continuing plots or themes.
One corner of The Rectangle introduced King's Gasoline
Alley, where characters Walt, Doc, Avery, and Bill held weekly conversations about automobiles. This panel slowly gained recognition, and the daily comic strip began
