Synopsis

This book offers an in-depth study of comic strips, a popular art form often overlooked by serious analysis and scholarship.

Through engaging analysis of beloved comic strips such as Little Nemo in Slumberland and Krazy Kat, the author demonstrates how comic strips combine visual and textual elements to create sophisticated works of art that provide nuanced social commentary. Providing historical context, the author traces the development of comic strips from their humble origins as newspaper inserts to their present status as respected cultural icons. This engaging and expertly researched book offers a unique perspective on a beloved art form, examining its artistic merits, cultural significance, and its enduring impact on literature and popular culture.
