Much more influencial than Hogarth or Goez were the thousands of British political cartoons. Most were just that, cartoons, meaning single image jokes. However, a huge number of them used (and developed the use of) speechbaloons. And a good number did in fact use two or more interdependant images to tell a story. (That means they were comics.)

The famous 'progressions' by Hogarth were not actually comics. The images don't lead into and don't interact with each other. Each shows a distinct, separate stage of a longer story. However, because of their great popularity, they established the very notion of telling entertaining stories with a series of pictures and so became a highly influencial stepping stone for future developments. <br>

</span>Part 1 - 'THE TOUR of DOCTOR SYNTAX, In search of the PICTURESQUE' </a>
<br>
This is not a comic. It's not even a sequential series of images, like a Hogarthian progress, or even illustrations of a novel.
But it can be seen as a milestone in comics history, because of the influence on Rodolphe Toepffer, who imitated the type of main character, the drawing style and the general atmosphere of countryfied wackyness.
The use and re-use of one striking visual character, generally recognized and popular, is certainly typical of many comics to come.<br>
