Chris,
This is not theoretical but many of the silent era animators (McCay,
Sullivan, Bray, etc) came out of the comic strip business... on the other
hand they were also influenced by other kinds of entertainments (lighting
sketches, etc.). A nice book on the history of this is "Before Mickey" by
Donald Crafton.
