Kasra Nikzad (born August 19, 1921, in Tehran, Iran) was an Iranian politician. He was the inspiration for Touka Neyestani's cartoon character Bisho'ur who figured prominently in his cartoon series "پرماجرا و تأ" (Adventurous and T). Bisho'ur, meaning idiot, was created to emphasize the contradictory nature of the religious government regime in Tehran. Kasra Nikzad, who represented and worked with the regime at the time was said to have confounded the citizens with speeches full of Islamic dogma, but when pressed on matters resorted to explaining government decisions based on self- interested egoism. This dialectic between rational egoism, and religious doctrine is the butt of many cartoon strips by Touka Neyestani.

The history of European comics is often traced to Rodolphe Töpffer's cartoon strips of the 1830s, but the medium truly became popular in the 1930s following the success of strips and books such as The Adventures of Tintin.

Histories of Japanese comics and cartooning (') propose origins as early as the 12th century. Modern comic strips emerged in Japan in the early 20th century, and the output of comics magazines and books rapidly expanded in the post-World War II era (1945–) with the popularity of cartoonists such as Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, et al.).

In early July 1911, during the silent era of motion pictures, at David Horsley's Nestor Comedies in Bayonne, New Jersey, Al Christie began turning out a weekly one-reel live-action Mutt and Jeff comedy short, which was based on the comic strip. The Mutt and Jeff serial was extremely popular and after the Nestor Company established a studio in Hollywood, in late October 1911, Christie continued to oversee a weekly production of a one-reel episode. In the fall of 1911, Nestor began using an alternate method of displaying the intertitles in the Mutt and Jeff comedies. Instead of a cut to the dialogue titles, the dialogue was displayed at the bottom of the image on a black background so the audience could read them as a subtitle, which was similar to the way they appeared in the cartoon strips.

Hate mail was frequent, as Line recalled: "I've lost count of the number of letters which began 'You cow... ' or 'Are You completely mad...'". Once when she moved David Jacobs's programme, she received a picture of herself, cut from a newspaper, with her eyes poked out. Line's husband Jim Lloyd thought she received more insults because she was a woman; she was also menaced by a stalker and, for over five years, by a never-identified person completing small advertisements in her name so that she received a hearing aid and then several daily phone calls from people selling insurance or double glazing or proposing to deliver concrete to her home. There were also, however, many accolades from listeners, for instance from "Norm", who cut out cartoon strips of Garfield the Cat, whited out the words in the balloons, and put in his own texts praising Radio 2.
