(Duke Ellington) Nací con un tebeo delante de los ojos (lo estaría leyendo, tal vez, la comadrona) y seguiré leyéndolos hasta el último guiño de luz, antes de hundirme en la definitiva noche oscura del alma. (Luis Alberto de Cuenca) My cats when I am feeling low all I have to do is watch my cats and my courage returns. I study these creatures. they are my teachers. (Charles Bukowski) 11 VIGENCIA Y REVITALIZACIÓN DEL GÉNERO NEGRO EN LAS VIÑETAS: BLACKSAD Para cuando acabe este año 2015, habrán pasado ya quince desde que tuve en mis manos Un lugar entre las sombras, la primera historieta del detective John Blacksad, cuyo rostro, que yo no tenía el gusto de conocer, me miraba con cara de pocos amigos desde la mesa de novedades de la única tienda dedicada al cómic de esta ciudad de provincias. Algo debía de tener aquella mirada para que, años después, haya decidido devolvérsela, frente a frente, a lo largo de estas líneas. Alma Mayer, el amor frustrado de John en Alma roja, hablaría de “magia negra”, pero, siendo sinceros, la relación con Blacksad se habría forjado mucho antes en ese terreno mítico que llamamos infancia. Allí se crecía comprando los tebeos en el kiosco con la paga semanal, o contemplando, si llegaba la bancarrota, los números expuestos en las vitrinas laterales. Todavía existían tiendas de barrio donde se podían intercambiar los tebeos de Roberto Alcázar y Pedrín o las novelas de Lafuente Estefanía, y no había casa en la que no hubiera un tebeo de Mortadelo dispuesto a que le echaran un vistazo los niños mientras los adultos estaban a lo suyo. Los compañeros más avezados de la clase eran los que ya te empezaban a hablar de Astérix o de Tintin. Aquello eran palabras mayores. La lectura de los clásicos de la historieta franco-belga, en formato álbum, a precio inalcanzable si dependías de las propinas, pasaban por una suerte de peregrinación por la biblioteca pública infantil. Allí acabábamos todos los amigos de clase en busca del número de la serie que te tocaba leer, que solía ser, por otra parte, el que estaba prestado. Si esto ocurría, no había por qué desesperarse, siempre quedaba el remanente de tebeos de superhéroes por casa. Además, las horas de diversión en el hogar no terminaban al llegar a la última página. Estaba el MSX para hacer que programabas o echar una partida a algún juego y en la televisión se podía ver algún dibujo animado protagonizado por animales antropomorfos, desde Super Ratón a Bugs Bunny. Puede que después se enfriara la relación, por más que entre medias cayeran de vez en cuando revistas y fanzines entre mis manos. Por lo visto, el poso dejado por los tebeos en la niñez estaba a la espera de ser removido al renovar una oferta de títulos que no satisfacía del todo las nuevas inquietudes de juventud. En esas estaba cuando llegó aquella mirada felina, acompañada del surtido inagotable de lectura que ofrecía el Curso de Doctorado sobre el cómic de la Universidad de Burgos. Crujieron las puertas, saltaron los goznes oxidados y quedó ante mí un mundo de viñetas del que ya no me he podido desembarazar. 12 INTRODUCCIÓN Como nunca he hecho distinciones entre conocidos,

NJCU illustration faculty member, and illustrator of the baseball card Catfish Hunter, Dennis Dittrich introduced his long time friend, professor, and mentor by saying: “When someone reaches a point—and very few people do—but when someone reaches a point in their field where they are absolutely peerless—where whatever that person does cannot be duplicated, imitated, or replicated—they can go by one name.

The Illustration Game: Quotes and Notes Jaleen Grove The Illustration Game, published in Communication Arts magazine, is an artwork that critically evaluates and satirizes the illustration industry 1959-2019. It conceives of the time period in the form of a board game in which players roll a die to advance along a path, accumulating points or losing them according to typical events of each decade. The path winds through a forest of quotations that were said in print at the time or shortly after by leading illustrators and critics. For the quotations to read properly and succinctly, wording was very slightly modified in some cases. The sources and the quotes without modification are given here for those who wish to see context and origin. This document only discusses the quotations that appear in the black background.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

ROTHER ABSTRACT Like Britain and continental Europe, the United States would utilize the poster to garner both funding and public support during World War I. While war has historically been considered a masculine endeavor, a relatively large number of these posters depict the female form. Although the use of women in American World War I visual propaganda may not initially seem problematic, upon further inspection it becomes clear that her presence often served to promote racial and national pretentiousness. Based on the works of popular pre-war illustrators like Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson, the American woman was the most attractive woman in the in the world. Her outstanding wit, beauty and intelligence made her the only suitable mate for the supposed racially superior American man. With the onset of war, however, the once entertaining romantic scenarios in popular monthlies and weeklies now represented what America stood to lose, and the “American Girl” would make the transition from magazine illustrations to war poster with minimal alterations.

  • Butifarra! En Los Barrios
    PRESENTACIÓ En el 40è aniversari de l’aparició de la revista gràfica Butifarra, l’Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat de Barcelona, amb la col·laboració de l’Associació Tantatinta, vol dedicar una Jornada a la reflexió sobre la historieta crítica en el context social i polític de la Transició. La revista va sorgir de la mà d’un jove equip de professionals del còmic, dibuixants, guionistes i periodistes convençuts que el llenguatge de la historieta anava molt més enllà de la simple distracció, i que era portador d’enormes possibilitats pedagògiques i d’informació al servei d’un nou model de ciutat i de societat més justos i democràtics. L’Equip Butifarra i la seva revista van establir una especial aliança amb les associacions de veïns i veïnes i altres entitats dels barris de Barcelona i de la seva àrea metropolitana. La revista i l’equip que li donava nom es van convertir en receptors i transmissors de les notícies i les reivindicacions veïnals. 2 A més a més, durant totes les èpoques de la publicació van aparèixer edicions monogràfiques dedicades a temes ciutadans de l’actualitat de cada moment: l’Esquerra de l’Eixample, la campanya per la gratuïtat del Quart Cinturó, la rehabilitació dels quarts de casa de la Barceloneta, o la recuperació de l’espai públic de places i carrers, reflectida en multitud de cartells i auques populars. En aquest context i per aprofundir en el seu estudi i coneixement, l’AHCB, que és actualment dipositari de bona part dels dibuixos originals publicats en el seu moment a la revista Butifarra, i que han passat a formar part dels fons i col·leccions de dibuixos vinculats a l’humor gràfic de diferents èpoques, ha volgut organitzar la Jornada Butifarra.
