@enkiv2 I’m not sure that would be the common term. Like no one would be saying “I’m going to go down to the graphic storytelling shop and buy some new graphic storytelling books”
@WizardOfDocs IIRC, the same root as “carton”: heavy card stock, often used to sketch plans for artwork. Some people would use scraps of them for political humor sketches to pass around, creating the modern association
Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics calls them Sequential Art sometimes. Graphic Novels already exist. Dime Novels were basically graphic novels of the Old West/Victorian times.
But humor is so much easier in that form than any other, it seems unlikely it'd get another name first. Funny papers are a dominant market.
