The Rise and Fall of Dandy
December 4, 2012 | by Sadie Stein
On December 4, 1937, the first edition of children’s comic book The Dandy was published, also marking the first known use of the speech bubble. Today, the magazine’s seventy-fifth anniversary, marks the final print edition of The Dandy. The speech bubble lives on!

This is not the first use of a speech bubble, they have been around in comics longer than this lie
Look in this 1924 comic strip of Felix the Cat http://felix.goldenagecartoons.com/1stsunday.gif
and this 1913 Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2209/2161621009_6260f20c40.jpg
and in this 1700s cartoon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Boston1775.jpg
shoot they sort of exist in this 1506 painting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Strigel_1506-detail.jpg
How can you make such a glaring error?
Pleas retract this lie, apologize and display a true history of the Speech Bubble
