  • 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.

  • Repetition. Sound. Appropriation
    REPETITION. SOUND. APPROPRIATION. by DERIK A BADMAN NOTES: Repetition 1- 5: I was reading a book about filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, and the author said something about focusing attention in film. How you can leave the camera rolling on a scene and the viewer will be forced (unless they just stop watching at all) to focus their attention onto the scene, much more so than the usual cuts and movements. These variations are partially inspired by that and partially by my interest in repeated panels in comics. The image is a slightly edited (characters removed) panel from Frank King’s “Gas- oline Alley.” The text in part 3 is from Barbara Wright’s translation of Raymond Queneau’s “The Sunday of Life.” Here, and through- out, my use of appropriated imagery or text is an attempt to provide some kind of control factors for my experiments. Sound 1-2: Variations on representing music in comics. The image is my redrawing of a photo of Robert Johnson. The music in panel 2 and the lyrics in panel 6 are from Robert Johnson songs. Comic Strip Rapture: I’ve been wanting to do an all landscape comic for quite awhile. This is a series of appropriations from vari- ous comic strips, which I redrew without the characters. Redrawing these was difficult, as the main focus of all these panels was origi- nally characters, and without them, the compositions and balance are occasionally off. Sources (in order): Frank King’s Gasoline Alley, Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie, Charles Schulz’s Peanuts, ditto, Roy Crane’s Wash Tubbs and Captain Easy, E.C.
