ARTH-A 280: THE ART OF THE COMIC STRIP (3 credits)

About

Surveys the formal and social history of the comic strip in America from its beginning in the mid 1800s to the present. Examines how the format created narrative challenges and conventions unique to comic strips and distinct from comic books as it surveys magazine comic strip humor, the newspaper comic strip and comic supplement, the continuity adventure strip, and postwar minimalist newspaper strips, to current comic strips and webcomics.
