1 Introduction 2 a Proposed Theory and Method for the Incorporation of Comic Books As Primary Sources Notes 1 Introduction 1. It is common within scholarship to use the term ‘comics’ in reference to both the industry and the medium (encompassing comic books, comic strips, sequential narratives, visual narratives and graphic narratives). Syn- onymous terms have been used mainly to avoid frequent repetition of the word ‘comics’. However, it is acknowledged that ‘comic strips’ generally refer to comics that occur within newspapers while ‘comic books’ tend to be published in pamphlet form, either as anthologies or as one longer narrative. 2. A stance echoed by Carr, who also suggests that history itself is the ‘con- tinuous process of interaction between the historian and his facts’ (1961, 24). 3. For more on children’s comics in relation to the general market pre-Haselden, see Chapman (2011) and Perry and Aldridge (1975). 4. Churchill, W. The Few, House of Commons, 20 August 1940 http://www .winstonchurchill.org/learn/speeches/speeches-of-winston-churchill/1940 -finest-hour/113-the-few, accessed 13 January 2014. 5. There were clearly practical problems for wartime industries everywhere. Hammond and Towheed have pointed out that the price of paper almost doubled in the first two weeks of the First World War; rationing was quick to follow, and yet somehow the trade was expected to cope with an immedi- ate 25 per cent increase in the demand for news. The steady personnel drain made it increasingly difficult to continue ‘business as usual’ (Hammond and Towheed: 2007, 4). 2 A Proposed Theory and Method for the Incorporation of Comic Books as Primary Sources 1. This book focuses on the widening of sources within history. Although acknowledgment is due to the discipline of the History of Art, where the aca- demic study of comics has been long accommodated, this often focuses on the visual and technical aspects of the form. In doing so it can overlook the content and the unique synergy between text and image in comics. Comics are a prime example of Ernst Gombrich’s ‘iconic art’, achieving impact by appealing to cognitive skills that cross cultural divides, returning to the use- fulness of popular culture’s interpretative mode (1960). The art historian W. T. J. Mitchell (2005) has since noted that the cartoon and comics form leaves a large cognitive space for audiences to interpret meaning, acting as a ‘living organism’, even demanding a user interaction (see also Maggio: 2007). Comics Studies too has emerged consistently to affirm and expand upon the artistic and literary value of the medium. The focus here, however, is on 180 Notes 181 the social and politically historical content of the comics, not the technical issues of them as visual art and literature. 2. Indeed, even the most apparently objective forms of record, such as the pho- tograph, have been critically evaluated as products of individual subjectivity. As an entry point to such discussions, see Sontag: 1977. 3. The quandaries posed by the work of David Irving on the Holocaust, in conjunction with the response by Richard Evans, provide an insight into the extremist possibilities of the abuse of historical practice in the post- structuralist, narrativist landscape, while the challenging and pioneering work of Richard Price is outstanding for its attention to the formal construc- tion of narrative. See Price in Munslow: 2013; also Price: 1990; and Evans: 2002. 4. Naturally, narrative theory has its objectors. David Carr, for example, has written quite extensively in ‘an effort to reaffirm the epistemic or truth- telling character of history’ (Carr in Roberts: 2001, 197). In practice, he does not reject theories of narrativity in absolute terms, but seeks to re-establish apparently more fundamental aspects of the writing of history by outlin- ing the continued importance of ‘getting the story straight’ (Carr in Roberts: 2001, 197), which is perhaps better described as accurate chronicling. For more, see Carr: 1986. 5. All Star Comics #8, December 1941–January 1942, in DC Comics: 1998. 6. Although it is essential here to draw on established principles within the the- ory and practice of history to support the positioning of this proposal, that it might resonate more strongly with historians, subjectivity and subject loca- tion is a concern across disciplines. For examples, see the works of Jacques Lacan in psychoanalysis and philosophy, Roland Barthes in literary theory and philosophy and Clifford Geertz in anthropology. 7. Derrida’s ‘writings abound in responses to a wide range of literary texts’. See Attridge in Derrida: 1992, ix. 8. All Star Comics #8. 9. Carr (1961, 16) described Collingwood as ‘the only British thinker in the present century who has made a serious contribution to the philosophy of history’. 10. Specifically, the issues consulted are the first twelve of Sensation Comics along with the fabled ‘first appearance’ in All Star Comics #8 and the summer special Wonder Woman #1. 11.

Circulation of the Mirror rose to 650,000 per day by July 1910 and continued to rise, to well over 1 million copies daily by the outbreak of war in July 1914. 2. The tank was credited with being a major contributing factor in the breaking of the deadlock on the Western Front after the German Spring Offensive of 1918. ‘Big Willie’ was the nickname for the British MK1 tank which was also nicknamed ‘His Majesty’s Land Ship Centipede’ and ‘Mother’.

After the war Haselden continued to draw on factual events, criticise govern- ment policy and promote the Mirror’s viewpoint that the country was not adequately recompensing its war heroes. In ‘The Future of Tommy’ (21–29 November 1918) he targeted the problems faced by soldiers returning home. He subsequently also focused on the general dissatisfaction and atmosphere of ‘unfulfilled promises’ (Lebas, Magri, Topalov: 1991, 263) surrounding the 1919 Housing Bill. In a series of five comic strips (May to December 1919) he attacked housing agents and the government on the subject, having pre- viously identified the issues faced by a young couple affected by the housing shortage (20–30 January 1919). 4 Proto Comics as Trench Record: Anti-Heroism, Disparagement Humour and Citizens’ Journalism 1.

  • Fudge the Elf
    1 Fudge The Elf Ken Reid The Laura Maguire collection Published October 2019 All Rights Reserved Sometime in the late nineteen nineties, my daughter Laura, started collecting Fudge books, the creation of the highly individual Ken Reid. The books, the daily strip in 'The Manchester Evening News, had been a part of my childhood. Laura and her brother Adam avidly read the few dog eared volumes I had managed to retain over the years. In 2004 I created a 'Fudge The Elf' website. This brought in many contacts, collectors, individuals trying to find copies of the books, Ken's Son, the illustrator and colourist John Ridgeway, et al. For various reasons I have decided to take the existing website off-line. The PDF faithfully reflects the entire contents of the original website.

  • THE FUNNIES of AUGUST: AMERICAN EDITORIAL CARTOONS in the OPENING MONTHS of the SPANISH CIVIL WAR by Wesley Moore HONORS THESIS
    THE FUNNIES OF AUGUST: AMERICAN EDITORIAL CARTOONS IN THE OPENING MONTHS OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR by Wesley Moore HONORS THESIS Submitted to Texas State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors College May 2020 Thesis Supervisor: Louie Dean Valencia-García Second Reader: Joshua Paddison ABSTRACT This thesis studies American editorial cartoons depicting the Spanish Civil War of 1936. The other goal of this thesis is to create an exhibit display case in the Taylor-Murphy building showing select comics from the research for casual audiences. I chose comics specifically because the opinions of newspaper political cartoons appeal or market to a wide portion of the public, making them a compelling source to study the popular opinion and media of the time. The comics came from the pages of the New York Times, Chicago Daily Tribune, and Washington Post and from the months of July, August, and September 1936. The newspapers were chosen for their status as major publications, their name recognition to modern exhibit viewers, and to limit the scope of the project. Cartoons were researched from these publications in the time frame of July 17th, the beginning of the military coup, to September 30th. The end of the date range was chosen to limit the scope of the project and to focus on this specific historical moment at the onset of the war. Few studies have been completed on the American cartoons that portrayed the Spanish Civil War, so this project is helping to fill that void. Some of the trends noticeable in these months were a set of common visual clichés, simplification of the conflict, rejection of both sides of the Civil War, and an association of the political left in Spain with Roosevelt and the New Deal.

Creative Commons License What’s the matter with Benjamin O. Flower? 1 What’s the matter with Benjamin O. Flower? Populism, antimonopoly politics and the “paranoid style” at the turn of the century Jean-Louis Marin-Lamellet 1 As an editor of several magazines and a publisher, Boston reformer Benjamin Orange Flower (1858-1918, figure 1) publicized and advocated many Progressive and radical causes of his times: Populism, woman suffrage, direct legislation, public ownership of utilities, public works for the unemployed, railroad regulation and temperance to name but a few examples.1 In the 1910s, he denounced the “medical monopolies” that wanted to crush alternative medicine. At the end of his life, he also edited a widely-circulated anti-Catholic newspaper, The Menace. Flower exemplified “how men of this era thought in strange theoretical combinations” and opened the pages of his magazines to all the unorthodox ideas of his times, thus acquiring the reputation of a “radical crank.”2 He believed that his editorial policy should illustrate the American spirit of freedom; the intense intellectual activity would then be conducive to reforms.3 European journal of American studies, 8-1 | 2013 What’s the matter with Benjamin O.
