Comic Cuts
''Comic Cuts'' was a British comic magazine. It was published from 1890 to 1953, and was created by Alfred Harmsworth. In its early days, it inspired other publishers to produce rival comic magazines. ''Comic Cuts'' held the record for the most issues of a British weekly comic for 46 years, until ''The Dandy'' overtook it in 1999. Creation Brothers Alfred and Harold Harmsworth first came to prominence with 1888's ''Answers'', a cut-and-paste '' Tit-Bits'' rip-off of letter responses, witticisms and tips often swiped from American magazines.
