Contributions by Kylie Cardell, Aaron Cometbus, Margaret Galvan,
Sarah Hildebrand, Frederik Byrn Kohlert, Tahneer Oksman, Seamus
O'Malley, Annie Mok, Dan Nadel, Natalie Pendergast, Sarah
Richardson, Jessica Stark, and James Yeh In a self-reflexive way,
Julie Doucet's and Gabrielle Bell's comics, though often
autobiographical, defy easy categorization. In this volume, editors
Tahneer Oksman and Seamus O'Malley regard Doucet's and Bell's art
as actively feminist, not only because they offer women's
perspectives, but because they do so by provocatively bringing up
the complicated, multivalent frameworks of such engagements. While
each artist has a unique perspective, style, and worldview, the
essays in this book investigate their shared investments in formal
innovation and experimentation, and in playing with questions of
the autobiographical, the fantastic, and the spaces in between.
Doucet is a Canadian underground cartoonist, known for her
autobiographical works such as Dirty Plotte and My New York Diary.
Meanwhile, Bell is a British American cartoonist best known for her
intensely introspective semiautobiographical comics and graphic
memoirs, such as the Lucky series and Cecil and Jordan in New York.
By pairing Doucet alongside Bell, the book recognizes the
significance of female networks, and the social and cultural
connections, associations, and conditions that shape every work of
art. In addition to original essays, this volume republishes
interviews with the artists. By reading Doucet's and Bell's comics
together in this volume housed in a series devoted to
single-creator studies, the book shows how despite the importance
of finding ""a place inside yourself"" to create, this space seems
always for better or worse a shared space culled from and subject
to surrounding lives, experiences, and subjectivities.
Attentive observers of the past ten years of British politics may
not have heard of Kaya Mar, but chances are they will have seen one
of his pictures - at a rally, or in an agency photograph syndicated
around the world, or via a viral tweet. His paintings in oils are
unlikely jewels of surreal satire, gleaming in the political desert
in which we find ourselves: a kaleidoscopic gallery of the clowns,
mountebanks and villains in charge, stripped of their
self-importance and thrown overboard. This selection of 100
pictures, edited and introduced by Sam Kinchin-Smith, tells several
stories at the same time: of how we got into this mess, of how we
might get out of it, and of how Mar has become one of our most
perceptive and wildly inventive political artists. It is the first
proper account of the work of a cult figure around Westminster,
promoted by the present crises to the status of national treasure:
a satirist laureate for Brexit Britain. And fortunately,
considering what doubtless lies ahead, he's only just getting
started.
He's yellow - but he sure ain't mellow! Everyone's favourite
antisocial prankster, Bart Simpson, returns in another collection
of hilarious, brain-bending adventures! There's something funny
going on in the cornfields, and Bart is to blame; Bart and Milhouse
get creative in "The Simpson Project"; inventions ahoy in "Bart's
Invisible"; and our hero goes on a quest for the ultimate glossary
of comic book sound effects sure to end with a KABOOM.
This is a collection of cartoon panels drawn by hobby cartoonist,
Bill King. Haven't heard of him? Me either. His cartoons are highly
appropriate for restroom reading but not recommended for toilet
paper. And it should be safe for children to read. Ya, they will
laugh. But be prepared for questions such as, "Why is the snowman
sticking his carrot in the doggie's bottom, Mommy? Is it fun?"
Enjoy
This omnibus edition includes Revenge of the Baby-Sat and
Scientific Progress Goes Boink as well as other cartoons,
integrated throughout. Bill Watterson won the 1986 Reuben Award as
Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year, nominated by the National
Cartoonists' Society.
As D:Ream famously sang in their 1994 chart-topper, "Things Can
Only Get Bigger" ... and here, to prove how right they were is the
2019 Viz annual The Pieman's Wig. Hot on the heels of last year's
biggest ever Viz annual, this year's is even biggester, with 220
pages of * Cartoons: Fat Slags, Roger Mellie, 8 Ace, Mrs Brady, Big
Vern and many more * Articles: Sex Robots, the Joy of Flatpack
Furniture, Stephen Hawkins' A Brief History of Time Travel and
Who's Who in the 1970s School Playground. * Adventure stories: Pest
Force Alaska, Tiny Cox the Pocket Physicist, Drill Sergeant Jumbo
and The Binman that Fear Forgot. Plus more hilarious letters, Top
Tips and spoof ads than you can shake a stick 10% bigger than last
year's at. Now in its 33rd year, the Viz annual is as much a part
of the festive season as the Queen's Speech*, overcooked sprouts,
and ironic Christmas jumpers. And The Pieman's Wig is funnier than
all of those things. Except for ironic Christmas jumpers, which
really are very funny indeed. *Her majesty still alive at the time
of going to press.
