Download or read book Bobo Baxter the Complete Daily Strip 1927 1928 written by Rube Goldberg and published by Hyperion Books. This book was released on 1977 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack of many strips, but master of almost none, the mercurial, multi-talented Rube Goldberg was able (thanks to his inherited wealth), to drop a comic feature as soon as he was tired of it, leave a syndicate flat and stroll over to another in order to undertake a brand new strip idea, which his reputation made automatically saleable regardless of its intrinsic merit or promise. This lack of real dependence on his cartoon work for security frequently led the socially active Goldberg to sluff off at his work, fall back on old and stereotyped ideas from his youth, and take fame and credit for concepts not his own (such as the screwball invention gimmick, lifted from Clare Dwiggins and W. Heath Robinson). Once in a while, however, his genuine gift for fantastic comic narrative and suspense would surface, as it did for much of the later Sunday continuity of his Boob McNutt strip, and for the whole of his remarkable daily adventure strip, Bobo Baxter. Little known to strip afficionados and even Goldberg scholars today, Bobo Baxter ran for little more than a year in 1927-1928, and despite an enthusiastic reader reception was dropped by the readily bored Goldberg for a return to the easier format of his daily general gag feature. Reprinted complete in this volume, Bobo Baxter represents the creative apogee of one of the major but least developed American talents in the comic strip field. Jampacked with comic action, risible characters, fine visual humor, and a frenetic narrative line, the Goldberg strip, metaphorically speaking, is a lost gem remounted for contemporary eyes.

Book excerpt: A “generously illustrated and well-designed appreciation” of the Pulitzer Prize–winning illustrator, with an introduction by New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik.(The New York Times) Cartoonist, humorist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor, Rube Goldberg wrote and illustrated nearly 50,000 cartoon in his seventy-two-year career. Goldberg (1883–1970) was the most famous cartoonist of his time, best known for his comical inventions, which were syndicated in daily newspapers throughout the world. Author Jennifer George celebrates all aspects of her grandfather’s career, from his very first published drawings in his high school newspaper and college yearbook to his iconic inventions, his comic strips and advertising work, and his later sculpture and Pulitzer Prize–winning political cartoons. Also included are essays from such writers and comic historians as Adam Gopnik, Al Jaffee, Carl Linich, Peter Meresca, Paul Tumey and Brian Walker, as well as rare photographs, letters, memorabilia, and patents, many reproduced here for the first time. Brilliantly designed and packaged to capture the inventiveness of Rube Goldberg’s work, The Art of Rube Goldberg is a coffee table book the whole family can enjoy. “Goldberg’s cartoons touch the edge of modern art.” —Adam Gopnik “There will likely never be another Rube Goldberg. Fortunately, his granddaughter’s wonderful book ensures that we’ll always remember this one-of-a-kind cartooning legend.” ―The Washington Times
Download or read book Comic Books and Comic Strips in the United States through 2005 written by John Lent and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-04-30 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final work in John Lent's series of bibliographies on comic art gathers together an astounding array of citations on American comic books and comic strips. Included in this volume are citations regarding anthologies and reprints; criticism and reviews; exhibitions, festivals, and awards; scholarship and theory; and the business, artistic, cultural, legal, technical, and technological aspects of American comics. Author John Lent has used all manner of methods to gather the citations, searching library and online databases, contacting scholars and other professionals, attending conferences and festivals, and scanning hundreds of periodicals. He has gone to great length to categorize the citations in an easy-to-use, scholarly fashion, and in the process, has helped to establish the field of comic art as an important part of social science and humanities research. The ten volumes in this series, covering all regions of the world, constitute the largest printed bibliography of comic art in the world, and serve as the beacon guiding the burgeoning fields of animation, comics, and cartooning. They are the definitive works on comic art research, and are exhaustive in their inclusiveness, covering all types of publications (academic, trade, popular, fan, etc.) from all over the world. Also included in these books are citations to systematically-researched academic exercises, as well as more ephemeral sources such as fanzines, press articles, and fugitive materials (conference papers, unpublished documents, etc.), attesting to Lent's belief that all pieces of information are vital in a new field of study such as comic art.
