  • The Processing, Preservation, and Cataloging of Editorial Cartoons
    COMIC RELIEF: THE PROCESSING, PRESERVATION, AND CATALOGING OF EDITORIAL CARTOONS BY PAM HACKBART-DEAN ABSTRACT: The editorial cartoons of the Clifford "Baldy" Baldowski Collection con- sist of over 2,500 individual drawings spanning four decades. Because of the need to manage this special medium, the staff at the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies initiated the Editorial Cartoon Description Project (ECDP) for the Baldy cartoons. The plan was to identify, preserve, and catalog at the item-level. Fields in the Minaret database that provide access for item level records are detailed. Also discussed is the background, the planning and implementation, and future devel- opments for this project. A common hazard for those involved in the world of politics is becoming a target of the scathing brush strokes of editorial cartoonists. Cartoonists' drawings address wide- ranging social and political issues, capturing in snapshot form important moments in history. While some editorial cartoonists poke fun at power, others use the power of the pen to portray more serious subject matters. In the 1970s, cartoonist Paul Conrad made fun of United States President Richard Nixon over Watergate, whereas in the 1940s, graphic commentator Herbert Block illustrated the evil of Nazism to encourage the United States to enter World War II. Florence Berryman, a former art critic for the Washington Evening Star, described political cartoons as the branch of art in which the transmission of ideas is paramount. She stressed that a political cartoon must make an immediate impact and that "a draw- ing may be beautifully executed, may have decorative qualities, admirable composi- tion and creative design, all of which will make it good art.

    Manga as a Teaching Tool 1 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders Ikue Kunai, California State University, East Bay Clarissa C. S. Ryan, California State University, East Bay Proceedings of the CATESOL State Conference, 2007 Manga as a Teaching Tool 2 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders The [manga] titles are flying off the shelves. Students who were not interested in EFL have suddenly become avid readers ...students get hooked and read [a] whole series within days. (E. Kane, personal communication, January 17, 2007) For Americans, it may be difficult to comprehend the prominence of manga, or comic books, East Asia.1. Most East Asian nations both produce their own comics and publish translated Japanese manga, so Japanese publications are popular across the region and beyond. Japan is well-known as a highly literate society; what is less well-known is the role that manga plays in Japanese text consumption (Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco). 37% of all publications sold in Japan are manga of one form or another, including monthly magazines, collections, etc. (Japan External Trade Organization [JETRO], 2006). Although Japan has less than half the population of the United States, manga in all formats amounted to sales within Japan of around 4 billion dollars in 2005 (JETRO, 2006). This total is about seven times the United States' 2005 total comic book, manga, and graphic novel sales of 565 million dollars (Publisher's Weekly, 2007a, 2007b). Additionally, manga is closely connected to the Japanese animation industry, as most anime2 television series and films are based on manga; manga also provides inspiration for Japan's thriving video game industry.

  • Elements of a Political Cartoon
    POLITICAL CARTOONS Cartoonists use 5 main elements to convey their point of view. ● symbolism – using an object to stand for an idea. ● captioning & labels – used for clarity and emphasis. ● analogy – a comparison between two unlike things that share some characteristics. ● irony – the difference between the way things are & the way things are expected to be. ● exaggeration – overstating or magnifying a problem or a physical feature or habit: big nose, bushy eyebrows, large ears, baldness, etc. Examples of Symbols Used in Political Cartoons ● peace – dove, olive branch, victory sign, scales of justice. ● United States – Uncle Sam, flag, stars and stripes, shield, lady liberty. ● Democrats – donkey. ● Republicans – elephant. ● death – vulture, skeleton w/ shroud, skull and crossbones, grim reaper. ● love – heart, Cupid, Venus ● money – dollar bill or dollar sign. Steps to analyzing a political cartoon: 1) Identify the characters, symbols, and objects in the cartoon. 2) Look for clues and details that would give further meaning. 3) Identify the main idea of the cartoon by reading any captions and by putting the message in your own words. 4) Identify any bias the cartoonist might have (what side of the issue is he/she on?). Questions to answer: 1) What is the event or issue that inspired the cartoon? 2) What background knowledge do you need to understand the message? 3) Are there any real people in the cartoon? 4) Did the artist use caricatures? (caricature: a picture, description, or imitation of a person or thing in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a desired effect) 5) Are there any symbols in the cartoon? What do they represent? 6) What is the cartoonist’s opinion about the topic portrayed? 7) Does the caption help you understand the message? How? 8) Do you agree or disagree with the cartoonist’s message? Why? .

  • Using and Analyzing Political Cartoons
    USING AND ANALYZING POLITICAL CARTOONS EDUCATION OUTREACH THE COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG FOUNDATION This packet of materials was developed by William Fetsko, Colonial Williamsburg Productions, Colonial Williamsburg. © 2001 by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Williamsburg, Virginia INTRODUCTION TO LESSONS Political cartoons, or satires, as they were referred to in the eighteenth century, have provided a visual means by which individuals could express their opinions. They have been used throughout history to engage viewers in a discussion about an event, issue, or individual. In addition, they have also become a valuable instructional resource. However, in order for cartoons to be used effectively in the classroom, students must understand how to interpret them. So often they are asked to view a cartoon and explain what is being depicted when they really don’t know how to proceed. With that in mind, the material that follows identifies the various elements cartoonists often incorporate into their work. Once these have been taught to the students, they will then be in a better position to interpret a cartoon. In addition, this package also contains a series of representative cartoons from the Colonial period. Descriptors for these are found in the Appendix. Finally, a number of suggestions are included for the various ways cartoons can be used for instructional purposes. When used properly, cartoons can help meet many needs, and the skill of interpretation is something that has life-long application. 2 © C 2001 olonial  POLITICAL CARTOONS AN INTRODUCTION Cartoons differ in purpose, whether they seek to amuse, as does comic art; make life more bearable, as does the social cartoon; or bring order through governmental action, as does the successful political cartoon.

  • Comics and Controversy: a Brief History of Comic Book Publishing
    A supplement to The Pocket Lawyer for Comic Book Creators by Thomas A. Crowell, Esq., (Focal Press, 2014). © 2014 Thomas A. Crowell, Esq. Comics and Controversy: A Brief History of Comic Book Publishing by Thomas A. Crowell, Esq. The great comic book artist, Will Eisner, defined the comic as a form of “sequential art.”1 Indeed, the narrative use of a series of images is as old as art itself: Cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and medieval tapestries are all precursors to the comic book. Yet comics and controversy have been linked from the very start: Founder of the Protestant movement, Martin Luther, was an early target of editorial cartoons (well, engravings anyway); his critics created caricatures of him as a tool of the devil2 (so in a sense, Spider-Man can trace his origins, not just from a radioactive spider, but also from the Reformation). With the advent of the printing press and the proliferation of newspapers and broadsheets, satirical political cartoons soon began to appear. By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, editorial cartoons were a staple in the newspapers of the day. Benjamin Franklin’s famous “Join, or Die” is acknowledged as the first political cartoon in America, and served to galvanize support for colonial unity. In 1837 the first graphic novel was published by Swiss cartoonist Rudolphe Töpffer and was serialized in the American newspapers as “The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck.”3 Although conspicuously missing our now-familiar word balloons and sound effects, the comic book panel 1 Comics & Sequential Art.

  • Chinese Cartoon in Transition: Animal Symbolism and Allegory from the “Modern Magazine” to the “Online Carnival”
    Studies in Visual Arts and Communication: an international journal Vol 4, No 1 (2017) on-line ISSN 2393 - 1221 Chinese Cartoon in transition: animal symbolism and allegory from the “modern magazine” to the “online carnival” Martina Caschera* Abstract By definition, the cartoon (satirical, single-panelled vignette) “reduces complex situations to simple images, treating a theme with a touch of immediacy. A cartoon can mask a forceful intent behind an innocuous facade; hence it is an ideal art of deception” (Hung, 1994:124). As well as their western counterparts, Chinese cartoonists have always based much of their art on the strong socio-political potential of the format, establishing a mutual dependence of pictographic material and press journalism. From a media perspective, the present paper shows how Chinese cartoon developed from 1920s-1930s society ̶ when the “modern magazine” was the most important reference and medium for this newly-born visual language – to the present. Cyberspace has recently become the chosen space for Chinese cartoonists’ visual satire to take part in an international public discourse and in the “online carnival” (Herold and Marolt, 2011:11-15), therefore replacing magazines and printed press. Through emblematic exempla and following the main narrative of “animal symbolism and allegory”, this paper intends to connect the historical background with cartoonists’ critical efficiency, communicative tools and peculiar aesthetics, aiming at answering to questions such as: how Chinese modern cartoon changed, from the first exempla conveyed in “modern magazines” to the latest online expressions? Is its original power of irreverence still alive and how did it survive? How modern cartoonists (Lu Shaofei, Liao Bingxiong) and contemporary cartoonists (Rebel Pepper, Crazy Crab, Ba Diucao) have been dealing with governmental intervention and censorship? Keywords: Visual Culture, Popular Culture, cartoon, satire, censorship, cyberspace Introduction of a top-down indoctrination3.
