The Sunday Comics The Sunday Comics By Marc Goldner June 29, 2015 Los Angeles, CA – California based entertainment company Golden Bell Entertainment launches their first collaborative arts project called The Sunday Comics, which they’ve been working on for over a year. The Sunday Comics is a publication printed as a newspaper and hardcover book. The publication includes over 175 artists with over 200 pages of full color content. The sizing of the publication is 15” by 22” inches bringing back the traditional U.S. Broadsheet paper size. The content itself has an extraordinary amount of diversity and unique art, storytelling and genres. The publication is broken up into sectionals, as any traditional newspaper would be. The Sunday Comics twist on that old fashioned take is how it’s broken up. Instead of “News”, “Classifieds”, “Sports”, etc. sections that will be included are Traditional Comic Strips, Illustrations, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Online Web Comics, and many more complete with an Archives section courtesy of The Ohio State University’s Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, King Features, Universal UClick, and Creators. Acclaimed Creators from every inch of the globe The Sunday Comics boasts creators from every entertainment industry in the world.

  • Peanuts Paint by Numbers Full-Color Sunday Comics Have Been a Long Tradition in Newspapers
    Peanuts Paint By Numbers Full-color Sunday comics have been a long tradition in newspapers. Sundays were reserved for big, multi-panel comic strips printed in bright colors and featured in their own section known as the Sunday Funnies. Though Charles M. Schulz always drew his comics in black and white, he did have a hand in choosing the colors for his Sunday strips. Schulz sent his completed black-and-white Sunday strips to a local printing company to have a negative made. From the negative, a reproduction of the strip was made in a smaller size than the original. Schulz would hand-color this copy and have his secretary number the colors using a color chart, as shown in the example below. The newspaper syndicates used this numbering system to identify the correct color dye for the printing plates for the Sunday Funnies. Eventually, Schulz’s secretary took over the entire coloring and numbering process under his supervision. Top: an original color-coded Sunday reproduction from the Schulz Museum’s collection. Right: the full-color Sunday strip first published on June 13, 1965. Left: An example of a newspaper color chart. 1 Now it’s your turn! Look at the black-and-white Sunday comic strip below and use the numbers on the corresponding color chart to determine the correct color for each item. Color the comic strip and share it with us online @schulzmuseum or #schulzmuseum. This strip was first published on October 28, 1973.

  • The Gender Fluidity of Krazy Kat, Gabrielle
    The Gender Fluidity of Krazy Kat By Gabrielle Bellot January 19, 2017 “Krazy Kat,” George Herriman’s exuberant and idiosyncratic newspaper comic, was never broadly popular. From the beginning, though, it found fans among writers and artists. P. G. Wodehouse compared it favorably to Wagner’s “Parsifal”; Jack Kerouac later said it influenced the Beats. The strip ran from 1913 until 1944, the year that Herriman died. It is set in a dreamlike place called Coconino County, where a black cat named Krazy loves a white mouse named Ignatz, who throws bricks at Krazy’s head. Krazy interprets the bricks as “love letters.” Meanwhile, a police-officer dog, Offisa Pup, tries to protect Krazy, with whom he is smitten. The structure of the strip was built on reversals: a cat loves a mouse, a dog protects a feline, and, at a time when anti-miscegenation laws held sway in most of the United States, a black animal yearns for a white one. That last detail took on additional resonance, in 1971, when Arthur Asa Berger published a story about Herriman’s birth certificate. The certificate described Herriman’s race as “colored,” Berger revealed, to the astonishment of many readers (Ralph Ellison among them). Herriman was born in New Orleans, in 1880, to a mixed-race family; his great-grandfather, Stephen Herriman, was a white New Yorker who had children with a “free woman of color,” Justine Olivier, in what was then a common social arrangement in New Orleans called plaçage. George Herriman was one of the class of Louisianans known as blanc fo’cé_:_ Creoles who actively tried to pass as white.

They began working in the early 1900s, at the same time as Walt Disney, but while Disney went on to become a household name, the Fleischers are barely remembered. Our film will change this, introducing a wide national audience to a family of brothers – Max, Dave, Lou, Joe, and Charlie – who created Fleischer Studios and a roster of animated characters who reflected the rough and tumble sensibilities of their own Jewish immigrant neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. “The Fleischer story involves the glory of American Jazz culture, union brawls on Broadway, gangsters, sex, and southern segregation,” says advisor Tom Sito. Advisor Jerry Beck adds, “It is a story of rags to riches – and then back to rags – leaving a legacy of iconic cinema and evergreen entertainment.” BUDGET Outright Request 600,000.00 Cost Sharing 90,000.00 Matching Request 0.00 Total Budget 690,000.00 Total NEH 600,000.00 GRANT ADMINISTRATOR Ms.

  • David Hare, Surrealism, and the Comics Mona Hadler Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center, CUNY
    93 David Hare, Surrealism, and the Comics Mona Hadler Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center, CUNY The history of the comic book in the United States has been closely allied with mass culture debates ranging from Clement Greenberg’s 1939 essay “Avant-Garde and Kitsch” to Fredric Wertham’s attack on the comic book industry in his now infamous 1954 book, Seduction of the Innocent. An alternative history can be constructed, however, by linking the comics to the expatriate Surrealist community in New York in the thirties and early forties with its focus on fantasy, dark humor, the poetics and ethics of evil, transgressive and carnivalesque body images, and restless desire. Surrealist artists are well known for their fascination with black humor, pulp fi ction, and crime novels—in particular the popular series Fantômas. Indeed, the image of the scoundrel in elegant attire holding a bloody dagger, featured in the writings of the Surrealist Robert Desnos (Color Plate 10), epitomized this darkling humor (Desnos 377-79).1 Pictures of Fantômas and articles on the pulp market peppered the pages of Surrealist magazines in Europe and America, from Documents in France (1929-1930) to VVV and View in New York in the early forties. By moving the discussion of the comics away from a Greenbergian or Frankfurt school discourse on mass culture to the debates surrounding Surrealism, other issues come to the fore. The comics become a site for the exploration of mystery, the imagination, criminality, and freedom. The comic book industry originated in the United States in the late thirties and early forties on the heels of a booming pulp fi ction market.
