comic strip

[forgoodorill]

Hi, everyone!
I saw a reply in a thread, but I'm confused:

It's a picture like this, and one nice person(dojibear) called this comic strip, and I looked it up, it means:
a short series of funny drawings with a small amount of writing, often published in a newspaper
So the word 'series' means a pictures consists of a number of small pictiures like this, or a place always has a story, the next week will has its continued story? Or it could mean both?

Please help me.
Thanks in advance!

Series in that description refers to a group of pictures and words that are viewed and read in a sequence to tell a little story or joke about something.
