  • Popeye Classic Newspaper Vol 1 Preview
    Of Ducks, Mice, and one-eyed Sailors: FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY ANDREW FARAGO: In 1986—for the first time since the Eisenhower administration—King Features Syndicate was in need of a daily Popeye cartoonist. It surprised the comics community that one of the most venerable, most respected newspaper syndicates would entrust their most beloved and most iconic character to a cartoonist whose best known character was a misanthropic, ill-tempered reprobate named Dirty Duck; whose previous credits included a stint at Playboy and freelancing for National Lampoon (where he was a founding contributor); and who was one of the Air Pirates, a group of underground cartoonists whose biggest claim to fame was publishing an unauthorized, adults-only Mickey Mouse parody leading to a decade-long court battle with Disney… …Although it seemed like an unlikely pairing, to those who knew Bobby London and his work, there was no denying his talent or his love and knowledge of classic comic strips. To those who knew Popeye's history, London was the obvious choice. Here was a cartoonist who could capture the freewheeling, chaotic, unpredictable spirit of E. C. Segar’s original Thimble Theatre strips.

This October, Dollhouse and Miniature Month, we look at the evolution of dollhouses from ostentatious displays of wealth to mini classrooms of Celebrating October domestic chores, from children’s toys to adult hobbies. The very first dollhouses, engineered in Germany, Holland, and England in the 17th century, were designed for one audience: adults. These “cabinet houses” were elaborate displays of wealth. Cabinet doors opened to reveal tiny rooms outfitted with priceless little trinkets and objects. In the late 17th century, designs moved away from display and toward pedagogy. Miniature “Nuremberg kitchens” contained tiny pots, brooms, and other domestic tools. Such displays taught girls their domestic duties. These dollhouses even contained miniature people so that girls could also learn how to direct servants. In the 18th century, England saw the creation of “Baby houses,” so-called because they were miniature versions of real-life dwellings. Rather than display expensive trinkets, the houses boasted miniature replicas of all the home’s wares: grandfather clocks, rugs, wallpapers. Today, visitors to the Art Institute of Chicago enjoy similar reproductions in the Thorne Miniature Rooms, tiny models of European and American interiors from the 13th to 17th centuries. Attitudes about childhood and play evolved during the 19th century, and so the importance of toys was elevated, and dollhouses became playthings.

  • Archiving Newspaper Comic Strips: the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art Collection
    ARCHIVING NEWSPAPER COMIC STRIPS: THE SAN FRANCISCO ACADEMY OF COMIC ART COLLECTION BY AMY MCCRORY ABSTRACT: This article describes a two-year project at The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library (CGA)' devoted to processing and describing newspaper comic strips from the collection of the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art (SFACA), a nonprofit corporation founded by Bill Blackbeard in 1968. The SFACA collection is the largest known collection of cartoon art from American newspapers, so preserving its contents and making them accessible to researchers was essential to the study of this art form. Writing the finding aid to the collection required accommodation of Blackbeard's collecting philosophy, observance of the rules of archival description, creation of a descriptive scheme that would meet researchers' needs, and an approach that would fit within the framework of Encoded Archival Description (EAD). Although the challenges of processing the SFACA collection may seem unique to the comic strip format, archivists accustomed to working with more traditional documents will recog- nize shared concerns with original order, points of access, and other archival principles. Introduction In 1997, The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library purchased the collec- tion of the San Francisco Academy of Comic Art, an institution founded in 1968 and devoted to collecting a variety of popular culture materials, including printed cartoon art. Over a two-year period, the staff of CGA organized materials from the SFACA and assembled a finding aid to the collection. We intended for the finding aid to reflect and expand upon the SFACA's 30-year effort by pulling together the diverse parts of the collection while at the same time giving each part its adequate measure of description.

  • The Comic Art of Sandy Plunkett — Teacher Packet
    FANTASTIC! The Comic Art of Sandy Plunkett detail: Rocketeer Adventures, vol.2 #1, pg. 2, 2011 !© 2012 The Rocketeer Trust Kennedy Museum of Art FANTASTIC! The Comic Art of Sandy Plunkett January 25 – June 2, 2013 Teacher Packet Sandy Plunkett Sandy Plunkett was born in 1955 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to artistically inclined parents. The family moved to Mexico for four years and then to New York City, where Sandy developed an affinity for drawing and a passion for comic books (especially Marvel) at a young age. Partly due to peer pressure, he lost interest in both upon entering junior high. For reasons even he fnds difficult to explain, his passion was rekindled near the end of high school, and the notion of becoming a professional cartoonist was born. Plunkett spent a year of college studying art but ultimately found his interests at odds with what the school had to offer. In the late 1970s, Plunkett found work within the comic industry at Marvel, DC, and Gold Key comics, working on such titles as The Defenders, The Savage Sword of Conan, House of Mystery, The Unknown Soldier, and Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery. After more than a decade working with some of the largest comic book companies, and despite growing up in New York, Plunkett soured on life in the big city as an adult. With the advent of overnight delivery and increasingly efficient modes of communication, Plunkett realized he could continue his career from anywhere he desired. His choice? Athens, and the rolling hills of southeastern Ohio, where he has lived since 1990.
