Synopsis

Originally published in 1969, this work was the first full-length book devoted to a single American comic strip, and remains a model of how the comics can be given earnest analytical attention. Berger (broadcast communication arts, San Francisco State) discusses the place of the popular strip in American satire, creator Al Capp's narrative technique, his use of dialogue and self-caricature, and the significance of social criticism and the pictorial image. Includes five pages of reproductions of the comic strip. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
