Li'l Abner: a Study in American Satire

Arthur Asa Berger

4.9/5 (10465 ratings)

Description:The main focus of Dr. Berger's unique study is the comic strip Li'l Abner, created by Al Capp and read daily by millions of people throughout the world. Dr. Berger analyzes Li'l Abner and the comic strip genre in great detail, showing why and how they appeal to so many people, and where they belong in the history of Western literature and graphic art. Many aspects of Capp's technique are examined - for example, his use of dialogue and grotesquerie. The traditions in American humor that have influenced Capp are also surveyed. Al Capp's political and social views are discussed extensively, especially insofar as they are revealed by such episodes in Li'l Abner as those involving the Shmoos, the Kigmies, and the Abominable Snow-hams. Dr. Berger delves into Comparative Comics to make detailed and enlightening comparisons between American comic strip characters and their counterparts in Italy. What Dr. Berger terms "common man culture" is a new and complex field which can only be understood by crossing traditional academic boundaries and utilizing the findings of such varied disciplines as sociology, psychology, comparative literature, history, religion, art, philosophy, and esthetics. This is what is done in Li'l Abner.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
