  • 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.

  • The Cartoon Crier
    VOLUME 1 SPRING 2012 ISSUE 1 2 THE CARTOON CRIER Bil Keane, 1922–2011 In the late 1990s I was in my thirties trying to make a name for myself as a cartoonist. I fervently wanted to make a comic that could be deemed literature. I believed the future of the medium was the graphic novel and had no time for the contemporary newspaper comic strip. Its format seemed tired and its content formulaic. Then I saw the above Family Circus panel. The elements still give me a chill. A leafless tree is silhouetted in what looks to be the stark lighting of sundown. An old woman, her back to the reader, peers over her shoulder. The setting at first seems intimate, as she is sitting on a bed, yet the wall behind her is impersonal and empty. Her expression is one of weariness and resignation. She is contemplating her death. Whom is she speaking to? Her son? Her husband? An apparition? Little Dolly? This one unpretentious panel had all the mystery and pathos I so wanted to see in my own work. I had a lot to learn from Bil Keane. Bil Keane passed away last year at age 89. He was a great cartoonist. Through his involvement with the National Cartoonists Society, Bil enriched the lives of so many other cartoonists. The editors of The Cartoon Crier respectfully dedicate this issue to his memory. — James Sturm THA E C RTOON CRIER Volume 1 Number 1 Spring 2012 Publisher A joint publication of The Center for Cartoon Studies and The National Cartoonists Society Editors Cole Closser, R.
