Satire, Symbols (Literary) Comicsas a special literary genre--must be judged by special criteria.In fact, the four-panel daily comic strip must be judged by differentstandards from the full-length comic book or the single- or double-frame comic.Among the four-panel strips are found comics that make a claim toliterary quality--"Lil Abner," "Pogo," and "Peanuts." These comic strips are "uniquely expressive" andtranscend the severe limitations of their genre through a creative use of languageand symbolism. Charles Schultz's technique in "Peanuts" involves understatement andsymbolism through which adult personality types act inthe guise of children. Walt Kelly's "Pogo-lingo"--a purposeful. comic distortion of language employing manypuns--becomes part of the cartooning style and. thus, has graphic value.Like Kelly, Al Capp is a satirist, and his Abner is in the American tradition of the innocent picarowhose responses reveal the shams of society.

  • The Complete Peanuts Volume I by Charles M. Schulz
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators STUDY GUIDE: THE COMPLETE PEANUTS by Charles M. Schulz Volume One: 1950-1952 Study guide written by Art Baxter Introduction America was in the throes of post-war transition in 1950. Soldiers had returned home, started families and abandoned the cities for the sprawling green lawns of newly constructed suburbia. They had sacrificed during the Great Depression and subsequent war effort and this was their reward. Television was beginning to replace the picture-less radio not to mention live theater, supper clubs and dance halls, as Americans stayed home and raised families. Despite all this “progress” an empty feeling still resided in the pit of the American soul. Psychology, that new science that had recently gone mainstream, tried to explain why. Then, Charles M. Schulz’s little filler comic strip, Peanuts, appeared in the funny pages. Schulz was born in 1922, the solitary child of a barber and his wife, in St. Paul, Minnesota. Sparky, his lifelong nickname, was given to him when he was an infant, by an uncle, after the comic strip character Barney Google’s racehorse Spark Plug. Schulz had an early love and talent for drawing. He enjoyed famous comic strips like Roy Crane’s Wash Tubbs/Captain Easy (1924- 1943), the prototype of the adventure strip; E. C. Segar’s Thimble Theater (1919-1938), and its diverse cast of colorful characters going in and out rollicking adventures; and Percy Crosby’s Skippy (1925-1945) with its wise-for-his-age perceptive child protagonist. Schulz was a bright student and skipped several grades, making him the youngest and smallest in his class.

Maybe. We’ll let you decide. Many of you told us that we dropped the wrong soap opera, or continuity, comic strip, meaning comics whose storylines carry over from day to day. “Mary Worth’s Family” would have been the better choice, fans of “Judge Parker” say.

  • American Comic Strips in Italy Going Through the Issues of Linus Published in 1967 and 1968: the Selected Cartoonists (E.G
    MONOGRÁFICO Estudios de Traducción ISSN: 2174-047X https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/estr.71489 American Comics and Italian Cultural Identity in 1968: Translation Challenges in a Syncretic Text Laura Chiara Spinelli1 Recibido: 11 de septiembre de 2020 / Aceptado: 27 de octubre de 2020 Abstract. Translation supports the construction of a national identity through the selection of foreign texts to be transferred to the target language. Within this framework, the effort made in the 1960s by Italian editors and translators in giving new dignity to comics proves emblematic. This paper aims to reconstruct the reception of American comic strips in Italy going through the issues of Linus published in 1967 and 1968: the selected cartoonists (e.g. Al Capp, Jules Feiffer, and Walt Kelly) participate in the cultural debate of the time discussing politics, war, and civil rights. The analysis of the translation strategies adopted will reveal the difficulty of reproducing the polysemy of metaphors, idioms and puns, trying to maintain consistency between the visual and the verbal code, but primarily the need to create a purely Italian cultural discourse. Keywords: comics; translation; culture; visual code. [es] Cómics americanos e identidad cultural italiana en 1968: dificultades de traducción en un texto sincrético Resumen. La traducción contribuye a crear la identidad cultural de un país, con la decisión de traducir o no un texto extranjero a la lengua meta. En este contexto es remarcable el intento de los editores y traductores italianos de los años sesenta de dar una nueva dignidad al cómic. Este artículo tiene como objetivo reconstruir la recepción de las tiras cómicas de prensa americanas en Italia, con particular atención a los años 1967 y 1968 de la revista Linus: los autores (Al Capp, Jules Feiffer, Walt Kelly) participaron en el debate cultural de la época discutiendo sobre política, guerra, y de derechos civiles.
