  • Adapting the Graphic Novel Format for Undergraduate Level Textbooks
    ADAPTING THE GRAPHIC NOVEL FORMAT FOR UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL TEXTBOOKS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian M. Kane, M.A. Graduate Program in Arts Administration, Education, and Policy The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Candace Stout, Advisor Professor Clayton Funk Professor Shari Savage Professor Arthur Efland Copyright by Brian M. Kane 2013 i ABSTRACT This dissertation explores ways in which the graphic narrative (graphic novel) format for storytelling, known as sequential art, can be adapted for undergraduate-level introductory textbooks across disciplines. Currently, very few graphic textbooks exist, and many of them lack the academic rigor needed to give them credibility. My goal in this dissertation is to examine critically both the strengths and weaknesses of this art form and formulate a set of standards and procedures necessary for developing new graphic textbooks that are scholastically viable for use in college-level instruction across disciplines. To the ends of establishing these standards, I have developed a four-pronged information-gathering approach. First I read as much pre factum qualitative and quantitative data from books, articles, and Internet sources as possible in order to establish my base of inquiry. Second, I created a twelve-part dissertation blog (graphictextbooks.blogspot.com) where I was able to post my findings and establish my integrity for my research among potential interviewees. Third, I interviewed 16 professional graphic novel/graphic textbook publishers, editors, writers, artists, and scholars as well as college professors and librarians. Finally, I sent out an online survey consisting of a sample chapter of an existing graphic textbook to college professors and asked if the content of the source material was potentially effective for their own instruction in undergraduate teaching.

  • The Bear, the Bomb, and Uncle Sam: the Evolving American Perception of “Russians” Viewed Through Political Cartoons
    The Bear, the Bomb, and Uncle Sam: The Evolving American Perception of “Russians” Viewed Through Political Cartoons A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Geography of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences by Beth Ciaravolo B.A. University of Cincinnati June 2012 Committee Chair: Dr. Colleen McTague, Ph.D. Abstract This project entails an analysis of the popular discourse of political cartoons involving Russia and the former USSR as they fit into this category. Cartoons are selected from a number of the most widely-read papers in the United States. All signs, symbols, and text are linguistically analyzed, with the ultimate aim of uncovering Americans’ underlying perceptions of Russia and the former Soviet states and how these views have changed (or not changed) over the years since the Cold War. Points of interest include the kinds of words used, the symbols selected to represent various personalities and nations, and any notable omissions of related facts. These findings are then situated in the original sociopolitical context, so that the question may be asked: What do cartoons tell us about the changing American perceptions of Russia and the former Soviet states? ii iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my committee, especially my advisor, Dr. Colleen McTague, without whom this thesis would never have been possible. Thanks also go to my colleagues at UC and my best friend Jen Weber for all their help and support, and to all the staff at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum at The Ohio State University, particularly Mrs.

  • Drawing Swords: War in American Editorial Cartoons 1 by Lucy Shelton Caswell
    13 AMERICAN JOURNALISM, 21(2), 13–45 Copyright © 2004, American Journalism Historians Association Drawing Swords: War in American Editorial Cartoons 1 by Lucy Shelton Caswell Wartime editorial cartoons document a nation’s underlying assumptions about the truth of their cause that justifies war and sustains them during the fighting. Increasingly during the past half-century in the United States, they also reflect the doubts and concerns of the opponents of a war. This study is an overview of U.S. editorial cartoons over more than two centuries of wars. Main- stream publications and reprint volumes of the work of major cartoonists were examined to seek patterns in the depiction of the enemy; to investigate the use of stereotypes; and to determine if these wartime cartoons might be considered pro- paganda. or a book that reprinted one hundred cartoons from the Great War, James Montgomery Flagg drew a self-caricature, dapper in F an artist’s smock, overlooking the shoulder of the Kaiser. The defeated German ruler is bending toward a mirror to stare at his reflection, which is a skeleton. The caption of the cartoon is “The Cartoonist Makes People See Things!” (Fig. 1) Antebellum engravings and lithographs about America’s wars evolved to become editorial cartoons as changes in newspaper and magazine publi- cation technology made timely transmission of war news possible and as publishers discovered that pictures that maligned the enemy or glorified “our” cause sold copies. War cartoons of the first half of the twentieth century display a remarkable continuity of visual metaphors that are based on traditional artistic conventions in the depiction of one’s enemy.

Hulshof-Schmidt 1 Robert Hulshof-Schmidt How Lust Was Lost: Genre, Identity, and the Neglect of a Pioneering Comics Publication In 1950, comic book publisher St. John released a self-proclaimed “Picture Novel” titled It Rhymes With Lust, a 128-page digest sized book written by the pseudonymous Drake Waller (in fact the team of Arthur Drake and Leslie Waller). Their story blended the romance and crime genres popular in comics of the day and featured art by St. John stalwarts Matt Baker (pencils) and Ray Osrin (inks). An unusual publishing experiment, It Rhymes With Lust can arguably be considered the first graphic novel, but is seldom recognized as such. In this paper I will explore the novel’s overlooked place in comics history, and examine key reasons for this omission.

  • Les Sources Du Graphic Novel: Des Romanssans Paroles De Lynd Ward À It Rhymes with Lust D'arnold Drake Et Matt Baker
    Les sources du graphic novel: des romanssans paroles de Lynd Ward à it rhymes with lust d'Arnold Drake et Matt Baker Jean-Paul Gabilliet Université Michel de Montaigne — Bordeaux 3 (França) Resumo Este artigo examina as formas primitivas que os americanos batizaram de “graphic novels” (romance gráfico) a partir dos anos 70. Dos “romances” sob a forma de gravuras em madeira produzidas pelo artista americano Lynd Ward nos anos 30 e 40 ao “picture novel” It Rhymes With Lust em formato de livro de bolso publicado em 1950 pelo editor popular St. John, passando por diversas experiências “sérias” ou “populares”, assiste-se no meio do século XX nos Estados Unidos a tentativas dispersas de fazer narrativa com imagens em formatos próximos do desenho em quadrinhos sem o ser de fato. Daí uma possibilidade de reflexão sobre onde começa e onde termina a forma “desenho em quadrinhos” e uma interrogação sobre as condições de legitimidade e de ilegitimidade cultural das histórias com imagens na América do meio do século XX. Palavras-chave: desenho em quadrinho artístico; romance gráfico; narração gráfica; Estados Unidos. This paper looks into the early forms of what Americans have called "graphic novel" as of the 1970s. From fine artist Lynd Ward's 1930s and 40s woodcut novels to the film noir pastiche It Rhymes With Lust released in 1950 by pulp publisher St John, via a number of drawn narratives released by both popular and highbrow companies in-between, a number of disparate graphic story-telling experiments in comic strip- like or quasi-comic strip formats appeared in the United States in the mid-20th century.
