Latky University of Iowa Published version. Studies in Popular Culture, Vol. 18, No. 1 (October 1995): 23-47. Publisher Link. © 1995 Popular Culture Association in the South. Used with permission. Bonnie Brennen was affiliated with SUNY at the time of publication. Sue A. La(ky and Bonnie Brennen For Better or For Worse: Coming Out in the Funny Pages Among the most significant occasions in the lives of gay men and lesbians is the one in which they realize that their sexual orientation situates them as "other." One aspect of this process, known as coming out, is the self-acknowledgement ofbeing gay or lesbian, while another aspect consists of revealing this identity to family members and friends. During her 1980s fieldwork with lesbians and gay men in San Francisco, anthropologist Kath Weston observed that "no other topic generated an emotional response comparable to coming out to blood (or adoptive) relatives" (1991, 43). She wrote: When discussion turned to the subject of straight family, it was not unusual for interviews to be interrupted by tears, rage, or a lengthy silence. "Are you out to your parents?" and "Are you out to your family?" were questions that almost inevitably arose in the process of getting to know another lesbian or gay person. ( 43) In Spring of 1993, such a "coming out" process was played out in North American newspapers through Canadian artist Lynn Johnston's syndicated comic strip, For Better or For Worse.

  • One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” Exhibit
    John Read is the creator and curator of the “One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” exhibit. A freelance cartoonist, John also teaches cartooning to children and is the publisher and editor of Stay Tooned! Magazine, considered the trade journal of the craft. The Comic Mode The comic strip provides a colorful and humorous respite from the serious and often tragic news that precedes it. There are many reasons for reading the “funny pages”; from the basic need to be entertained, to the desire to escape for a moment into what seems a playful combination of a joke and a sequence of images that illustrate the nonsense and play that generates it. Yet, what really constitutes the “comic” in a comic strip? Are they simply funny, as in Blondie, Garfield or Hagar the Horrible? Or do we sense underlying tones of irony, satire, political and social commentary as evidenced in Doonesbury, Non Sequitur, and Between Friends? How are we to understand the double entendre, the sting of wit or the twist of the absurd that infuses so many contemporary comic strips? It would seem that as in dreams, there are many levels to the comic mode. On the first take, the superficial or manifest appeal generates a smile or laughter. But as with many dreams and good jokes, there is the second take, a latent need to establish or defy meaning as embedded within the structure of the images themselves. The paradox or playfulness of the comic strip partially lies in discovering the truth in the nonsensical aspects of day-to-day living.

    Hannah J. Friedman. Classic American "Funnies" 1 "My" collection of comics is really my father's, and begins with the Peanuts books that he bought in the late 1960s and managed to save from the purges conducted by my grandmother, whose expensive folly in throwing out my Dad's vast collection of original Spiderman comics after he left home does not bear thinking about. Charles Schulz's sparse and quiet world was at once a bridge back to my parents' generation and an environment that I thought of as mine, even as the material aged gracefully and its protagonists did not age at all but remained (mentally) just like me. Though Good Grief, More Peanuts! was first published in 1957, and comprised strips going back to 1952, Linus's remark - after careful empirical observation and experiment - that "No matter how hard you try, you can't throw a potato chip!" is as true, funny, frivolous, and charming as it was the day Schulz drew it. His little-known aside on a different stage of life, "Teen-ager" is Not a Disease (1961) is very much of its time and place, dealing lightly with some of the tensions and incongruities that more or less forced membership in a Protestant congregation (and its corresponding "youth group") could impose on teenagers. Though the cultural distance is part of what makes it charming, many of the volume's quips remain too pointed to be dismissed as merely quaint, as when Harold, the young protagonist, shakes hands with a minister after service, remarking cheerfully: "I enjoyed your sermon on young people, Reverend Hartman.
