Mort Walker was born Addison Morton Walker in El Dorado, Kansas on September 3, 1923. He began selling cartoons to magazines at the age of 14 and became the chief editorial designer for Hallmark greeting cards at the age of 18. He was drafted into the Army in 1943 and continued his sketching while mostrar más in Italy, working in intelligence and later commanding a camp holding German prisoners of war. He graduated from the University of Missouri in 1948. He moved to New York City and edited fan and humor magazines for Dell Publishing and sold cartoons of his own to leading magazines. In 1950, King Features picked up Beetle Bailey for syndication. He also created Hi and Lois with Dik Browne, Boner's Ark, and Sam's Strip with Jerry Dumas, who later took over and renamed it Sam and Silo. In 1953, Walker received the National Cartoonists Society's award for outstanding cartoonist of the year. In 1974, he founded the International Museum of Cartoon Art. He was inducted into the Museum of Carton Art Hall of Fame in 1989 and received the Secretary of the Army's highest award to a civilian, the Distinguished Civilian Service citation in 2000. He wrote several books on the art and history of comics, as well as children's books. He has published numerous collections of his comics work including The Best of Beetle Bailey. He died on January 27, 2018 at the age of 94. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Reseñas

This is a book about doing newspaper cartoon strips from the point of view of a creator. Mr. Walker wrote & drew great strips (such as Beetle Bailey). Among other things, I love the dedication page. "If the stories in this book are not exactly told the way they happened, it's the way they should have happened if God had been a better gagwriter--or if I'd had a better memory."

A light look at parenthood, slightly dated but not enough to spoil the fun!

I love "best of" comic collections. This one is a treat. I was just hoping to read some Beetle Bailey comics but Mort Walker went above the call of duty and did the entire history (Gizmo is not featured) of the comic. It is fascinating. I loved the text as much as I loved the chapters. NOTE: Their are no page numbers in my copy because of a reprint. A book mark may be necessary to keep your spot.

Il n’y a pas si longtemps, j’avais mentionné "The Lexicon of Comicana", un ouvrage signé par le dessinateur américain Mort Walker, mettant en place toute une terminologie des différents « effets spéciaux » utilisés en bandes dessinées. Intrigué par l’article originel, j’ai commandé le bouquin en question.

Première constatation: ça ressemble à un vieux bouquin. "The Lexicon of Comicana" est paru en 1980 et la version que j’ai récupérée (datant de 2000) ressemble à une réimpression « en l’état » de l’ouvrage originel et le graphisme d’époque a pris un méchant coup de vieux. Presque autant que le style des dessins…

Car c’est un bouquin qui, à côté de son aspect « encyclopédie amusante » (la page Wikipédia qui lui est consacrée semble dire qu’il a été écrit au second degré), met surtout en lumière l’école « comic strips » de la bande dessinée américaine, caractérisée par des séries comme Peanuts, Blondie, Hägar the Horrible (Hägar Dunör en français) ou Beetle Bailey (ce dernier de Mort Walker lui-même).

Hormis le fait que ça a mal vieilli, c’est un lexique qui est en grande partie très anecdotique: Mort Walker s’est amusé à décortiquer tous les éléments qui « font » le genre et de leur donner des noms plus ou moins foireux. Mais, en même temps, ce travail de décortiquage permet également de mieux percevoir les éléments constituants des comic strips, éléments qui sont souvent encore utilisés couramment dans la bande dessinée.

"The Lexicon of Comicana" n’est pas à prendre comme une sorte de prologue aux bouquins de Scott McCloud sur « l’art invisible »; il est bien moins académique et bien moins sérieux que cela. Pourtant, même suranné, il apporte des éléments intéressants pour qui s’intéresse à la bande dessinée en tant que média.
