To identify work of the cartoonist profiled in the encyclopedic article. The image is being used in an informational capacity and thus contributes to the article as a whole.
Published December 6, 1936, this illustrates an educational article about the artist of a once popular comic strip of the past; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding the text because it is a historical sample of the artwork and story situation, and it relates to matters covered in the critical commentary. Therefore the image substantially improves the overall educational value of the article. Since a comic strip is intended to be read in daily increments over a long period of time, perhaps weeks, months or even years, a single sample strip such as this one does not reveal any significant portion of the overall storyline. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, which directly concerns a visual art. It is of much lower resolution than the original. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality unsuitable for any commercial purpose. The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder and such use does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder. It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the article subject, because the whole body of work under discussion is copyrighted.
