strip is comic book, is that related with other meanings such like that in the sentence
:The children stripped off their clothes and jumped into the river.
Answer
Yes it is. To strip something off is to remove something in strips. Strips are long thin pieces of something which is exactly the shape of the piece of paper needed to hold a comic strip.
Some notes:
-
A comic book is not a strip. A comic strip is what is printed, in
the newspaper for example, consisting of a series of frames that
could fit on a long strip of paper. -
Stripping off clothes is a figurative phrase used when the clothes
come off so fast it seems like they must be coming off in torn
strips.
