Description of SCREWBALL! The Cartoonists Who Made the Funnies Funny
Review 'The book is an anthology of some of the earliest pioneers of comics art from the funny pages, and Tumey is a fantastic guide: he can explain the nuances of comics as well as just about anyone, and his passion for the classics of the funny pages is infectious.'-The Seattle Review of Books'Combining more than six hundred rare cartoons, comics and photographs with deeply researched and insightful text, comics historian Paul C. Tumey builds the case for the genre of Screwballism, convincingly illustrating why names like Frederick Burr Opper or Boody Rogers should be at least as familiar to Americans as Charlie Chaplin or Mel Brooks. Better yet, he curates examples of the cartoonists' work -- much of which is previously unpublished since first appearing in newspapers -- that make the case for themselves.' -�Michael�Tisserand, author of�KRAZY: George Herriman, a Life in Black and White.'In my mind, this is the most important contribution to comic strip history published this year. Tumey's excellent research validates and revives a dominant style of comics of the first four decades of the medium's history that may seem shallow, silly or just unfunny to modern sensibilities. The imaginative verve is timeless, however. This book fills a real void in our historical sense of comic strips and leads to important questions about how the medium related to the times.'- Panels & Prose (number one pick for best comic strip book of 2019)'A delightful pleasure to browse through ... impressively organized and presented to be both an inherently humorous read and informatively educational -- making it an ideal addition to the personal reading lists of all comics enthusiasts, as well as community, college, and university library American Popular Culture collections.'�-Midwest Book Review'Screwball!�follows an isolated strain of comics history as opposed to those other books that tell the whole lot decade by decade or by lining up a canon of masters.�A species of humor is Tumey's theme, the zany zest that made the comics an event that had not happened before: the nutty, the loony, the madcap and the high nonsense.'- Eddie Campbell (author The Goat-Getters, co-author From Hell) Read more About the Author Paul C.
