Political cartoons during the late 19th century Gilded Age revealed, on a large scale, key issues at stake throughout the era. These drawings flourished in the 1860s due to advances in new technology of mass circulation and because people of all kinds; young, old, black, white, educated, illiterate could interpret the intense meaning from the artists. Cartoonists emerged by the names of Thomas Nast from Harper’s Weekly, Joseph Kepper of Puck, Frank Beard, Eugene Zimmerman, Grant Hamilton, etc.…

‘On the other hand, taking business classes would probably help dancers learn marketing and sales skills’” (Moye). It is said that a young woman can be gorgeous, with a knock-out body and still leave a strip club with less money than say a much less attractive woman, and that is because of the way she chooses to interact with her costumers. Just like any other “traditional” job, stripping requires skills that are able to be applied in different areas of…

The article Show and Tell by Scott McCloud highlights the evolution and changes of comics throughout history. Specifically, he illuminates the development from pictures as words in language, to the reemergence of pictures and words working harmoniously together to enhance the ideas of a piece of writing of art. My own view of comics was very limited before reading this article. I had preconceived notions that comics were always around as a more laid-back, artistic style of writing.…

Within this paper there are three major areas that I will focus on: narration and the narrators, the visual elements of the comic, specifically the use of color, and the presentation and handling of social issues, including gender and sexuality. This paper will aim to consider and analyze these areas within the comic through the critical approach of narratology, with some assistance from the cognitive approach. First, let’s talk about our narrator. For most of the comic, our narrator is Suzie.…

World war two ended in September 2, 1945, however, this was not the complete end of all the battles. The post-war was a time of more conflicts such as juvenile delinquency and civil rights for equality in the United States. There was racial tension between blacks and whites that caused complications for both parties. Whites did not show equality towards blacks, they discriminated them and treated them in an inhumane manner. Blacks always fought for equality and whites fought against them. Racism…

I grew up surrounded by women, but with women who were enclosed in the mentalities of a male-dominated society. We spun on the axis of sexism. We walked the grounds of bias opinions. We got caught up in the silent winds of voices unheard and cloudless skies of faces unseen. Now fast-forward twenty years, my niece is growing up surrounded by women. Times have changed. The women surrounding her have broken out of this enclosure. We have created our own rotational spin of balance. We walk the…

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 musical…

Since the beginning of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbles in 1985, I have been one of the great fans. The Calvin and Hobbles comic strip is about Calvin and Hobbes imaginative world. The book was first published in November 1985 and held a wide popularity until December 1995 when it was sent to the printing press. It has appeared in more than a decade and the readers have been delighted by its incorrigible twosome. Their adventures and conversations of the pair make the case one that is used…

This political cartoon has a very important meaning. The cartoon is representing the ever questionable T.V. Doctor, Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz is known for giving nonsensical advice. I mean, don't question your doctor? Come on! You are always obligated to question authority. Anyways, recently, Dr. Oz has been accused of tricking millions of people into thinking that certain foods will provide weight loss. Recent surveys have debunked Dr. Oz's medical claims. But a lot of ignorant people continue to believe…
