In the span of five years, the balance of power in the comic book field had changed dramatically. Industry leader Dell had fallen out of favor thanks to a 1962 split with client Western Publications that resulted in the latter producing comics for themselves—much of it licensed properties—as the widely-respected Gold Key Comics. The stuffily-named National Periodical Publications—later better known as DC Comics—had seized the number one spot for itself al- though its flagship Superman title could only claim the honor of -
Bloom County – Eine Kommentierte Comicübersetzung
Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Departement Angewandte Linguistik Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen Studiengang Übersetzen Diplomarbeit von Thomas Zeller Bloom County – Eine kommentierte Comicübersetzung Referent: Simon Lenz M. A., dipl. Übersetzer FH Abgabetermin: 15. Juli 2009 Abstract The main part of this thesis consists of a German translation of the US-American funny comic Bloom County – Toons for our times by Berkeley Breathed, published in 1984. In order to establish basic translation strategies, a closer look has been taken at the various phenomena that may occur in comics. The main challenge with regard to translation has turned out to be the connection between verbal and nonverbal elements. This connection may cause translation problems if, for example, a pun (verbal element) is based on a vis- ual element (nonverbal element). Since, while verbal content can be changed in transla- tion, nonverbal elements cannot be altered, the translator can be confronted with heavy constraints: on the one hand, the translation of the verbal elements has to make sense in relation to the nonverbal elements; on the other hand, the number of characters of the target text must not significantly exceed the number of characters of the source text. Thus, two main strategies can be applied: compensation of the verbal element in question (e.g. a pun) in a different panel or deviation from the source text. The latter strategy can be divided into several subgroups and may lead to a complete deviation from not only the lexical or syntactic level but also from the semantic level to reach the same effect in the target text as intended in the source text. -

Canadian Magazine Illustrators at Home and in the United States, 1880-1960 by Shannon Jaleen Grove Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Criticism Stony Brook University 2014 This dissertation analyzes nationalisms in the work of Canadian magazine illustrators in Toronto and New York, 1880 to 1960. Using a continentalist approach—rather than the nationalist lens often employed by historians of Canadian art—I show the existence of an integrated, joint North American visual culture. Drawing from primary sources and biography, I document the social, political, corporate, and communication networks that illustrators traded in. I focus on two common visual tropes of the day—that of the pretty girl and that of wilderness imagery. -

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. -
