Lichtenstein was inspired by advertisements and comic strips. Lichtenstein was able to make his art work look like it was printed off a giant printer. He was recognized as one of the leaders in the Pop Art movement which included Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, and Claes Oldenbirg. Lichtenstein’s art provoked debate over the ideas of originality and the fine line between fine art and entertainment. Roy Lichtenstein’s most famous works would be his collection of comic strips, which are very…

gimmick of sorts. The addition of these characters and the altering of iconic characters is a marketing tactic and not the progressive movement that many believe it to be. These characters exist for scandals and controversies to draw attention back to comics and ultimately increase sales. Similarly, the addition of dissimilar characters into popular works is simply a way to show inclusion. Characters that may seem to add diversity might actually just be background or secondary characters. In…

Brown. Which ended up being some of the most famous Peanuts Comic Strips that were sung and acted out for the audience. The original musical was performed in 1967, and was directed by Clark Gesner. During the presentation of the musical on Thursday, very few members of the audience knew what was going on, because it did not have a plot. Although, the musical was enjoyable for the older generation because they grew up reading the Peanuts Comic Strips and could relate to the production. Now the…

We all know comics are unrealistic and contain many hurtful stereotypes for women, it’s time we bring some of those problems for light. The comic book industry’s approach to women really has not changed over the years, from selling sex, to being female counterparts of the other male superheroes, companies seem to believe that kick-butt female characters are all we need, but there are still many stereotypes that need to be addressed. Take a simple yet powerful, comic book trope…

Maus written by Art Spiegelman was the most intriguing comic book that I have ever read, I did not want to let go once I got a hold of it. I soon believed after reading a few pages, how important it is to not judge a book by its cover. The cover has two mice huddled together with a gigantic Nazi symbol above them dripping red (probably blood). The Nazi sign on the front cover made me feel like I was about to read a history book. My first impression of Maus seemed like it would be boring and…

The two comics, Wee Pals by Morrie Turner and Boondocks by Aaron McGruder, handled the issue of race in radically different manners. Wee Pals included many racial groups in addition to white and African American including Asian and Native American.
