Download or read book Harry Fig s Cartoon Boston written by Boston Globe, The and published by . This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from the popular comic strip that currently appears in Sunday editions of The Boston Globe, this collection contains the best Harry Fig cartoons of the past two decades, most of which have never before been published in book form. Entertaining but also informative, Harry Fig's Cartoon Boston is a unique, offbeat guide for both longtime residents and tourists who seek an insider's view of all the wikkid pizahhh stuff (Boston drivers, the Sox, weather, and more) that makes life here in the Hub of the universe unlike time spent anywhere else in the galaxy. Through the eyes of mild-mannered city resident Harry Fig, we learn, for example, that the right of way in a rotary always belongs to the driver who looks the most bonkers. Also, did you know that Henry David Thoreau had a secret underground luxury pad? And imagine if local restaurateurs had gone with Hilltop Zucchini House and Illegal Sea Foods as mass-marketing concepts. Cartoonist Peter Wallace's years of experience living in and around Boston have given him the knack for finding nuggets of humor amid the craziness of urban living and for creating a cartoon portrait that makes the reader say "That's Boston!"

Download or read book American Comics A History written by Jeremy Dauber and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sweeping story of cartoons, comic strips, and graphic novels and their hold on the American imagination. Comics have conquered America. From our multiplexes, where Marvel and DC movies reign supreme, to our television screens, where comics-based shows like The Walking Dead have become among the most popular in cable history, to convention halls, best-seller lists, Pulitzer Prize–winning titles, and MacArthur Fellowship recipients, comics shape American culture, in ways high and low, superficial, and deeply profound. In American Comics, Columbia professor Jeremy Dauber takes readers through their incredible but little-known history, starting with the Civil War and cartoonist Thomas Nast, creator of the lasting and iconic images of Uncle Sam and Santa Claus; the golden age of newspaper comic strips and the first great superhero boom; the moral panic of the Eisenhower era, the Marvel Comics revolution, and the underground comix movement of the 1960s and ’70s; and finally into the twenty-first century, taking in the grim and gritty Dark Knights and Watchmen alongside the brilliant rise of the graphic novel by acclaimed practitioners like Art Spiegelman and Alison Bechdel. Dauber’s story shows not only how comics have changed over the decades but how American politics and culture have changed them. Throughout, he describes the origins of beloved comics, champions neglected masterpieces, and argues that we can understand how America sees itself through whose stories comics tell. Striking and revelatory, American Comics is a rich chronicle of the last 150 years of American history through the lens of its comic strips, political cartoons, superheroes, graphic novels, and more.

Download or read book The Selling of the Babe written by Glenn Stout and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER of the Society for American Baseball Research's (SABR) 2017 Larry Ritter Award for best baseball book of the Deadball Era The complete story surrounding the most famous and significant player transaction in professional sports... The sale of Babe Ruth by the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees in 1919 is one of the pivotal moments in baseball history, changing the fortunes of two of baseball's most storied franchises, and helping to create the legend of the greatest player the game has ever known. More than a simple transaction, the sale resulted in a deal that created the Yankee dynasty, turned Boston into an also-ran, helped save baseball after the Black Sox scandal and led the public to fall in love with Ruth. Award-winning baseball historian Glenn Stout reveals brand-new information about Babe and the unique political situation surrounding his sale, including: - Prohibition and the lifting of Blue Laws in New York affected Yankees owner and beer baron Jacob Ruppert - Previously unexplored documents reveal that the mortgage of Fenway Park did not factor into the Ruth sale - Ruth's disruptive influence on the Red Sox in 1918 and 1919, including sabermetrics showing his negative impact on the team as he went from pitcher to outfielder The Selling of the Babe is the first book to focus on the ramifications of the sale and captures the central moment of Ruth's evolution from player to icon, and will appeal to fans of The Kid and Pinstripe Empire. Babe's sale to New York and the subsequent selling of Ruth to America led baseball from the Deadball Era and sparked a new era in the game, one revolved around the long ball and one man, The Babe.

Download or read book The Merchant Prince of Poverty Row written by Bernard F. Dick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Hecht called him "White Fang," and director Charles Vidor took him to court for verbal abuse. The image of Harry Cohn as vulgarian is such a part of Hollywood lore that it is hard to believe there were other Harry Cohns: the only studio president who was also head of production; the ex-song plugger who scrutinized scripts and grilled writers at story conferences; a man who could see actresses as either "broads" or goddesses. Drawing on personal interviews as well as previously unstudied source material (conference notes, memos, and especially the teletypes between Harry and his brother, Jack), Bernard Dick offers a radically different portrait of the man who ran Columbia Pictures—and who "had to be boss"—from 1932 to 1958.
