Mouth Wash By Kate Nash Piano Sheet Music

PEANUTS.TIRAS Comics. MICKEY MOUSE

(PROGRAMA MIL PALABRAS. 29 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2009 )
La era moderna de los cómics nace en los periódicos (la era antigua queda en los códices y en los tapices de otra época) y es una transformación de las ilustraciones cómicas y satíricas que aparecían en los diarios del siglo XIX . La temática de estas tiras consistía, por lo general, en historias de corte humorístico que intentaban draw a smile from the reader, either adult or child. Hence the name of comic that gives this art form and hence the identification with a minor art to children. So
comic was born in the newspapers and thus has published for many years, particularly in the area where U.S. Syndicate got not only the widest possible dissemination of the strip but a labor rights minimum copyright and artists who were the germ for the artistic and intellectual recognition.
I will not dwell on the subject of origins of comic, I have experience to know that this part of the history of comics unattractive, but I will bring several strips here who have achieved wide fame and media. Peanuts is , Mafalda , Olaf , Garfield and Cuttlas . This series is still running in the English press, either Sunday (El Pais - Peanuts / Garfield ) or in the newspaper as a later section (ABC / Olaf, 20 Minutes / Cuttlas ) or as collectibles ( Mafalda / World).
The name of this entry, Peanuts translatable as tiny things, like, as far as possible, to honor this kind of comic , smaller format than comic - book, the graphic novel or the great serial , and that sometimes reached very high artistic levels. I say sometimes because, despite public criticism and praise some of these stories, I think they are a very minor part in the world of comic .
Snoopy is the emblematic figure of the series Peanuts , his personality dethrones Charlie Brown and the other characters. In Spain he has been champion of an urban tribe, that of the posh eighties, and EE . UU . NASA's pet, do we have to think there is a sociological meaning in that?. Symbolism aside, the critics considered in comic Peanuts series in its entirety a masterpiece, something which I disagree for several reasons having to do with the size of the stories, very limited, with the scripts and the dibujo.o However, I recognize the value of Charles M. Schultz as a craftsman and a great worker, he even had the courage to leave farewell cartoons were published the same day of his death, 50 years after the start of the Peanuts .
As Quino, I think a great artist, a great illustrator and a great comedian, but far from his best known work, Mafalda . This girl rebellious period immediately preceding military dictatorship Argentina, who lives 68 and fall of Peronism achieved great di world fusion, no doubt amplified by the circumstances in which published, with many problems of censorship and many freedoms restricted. However, the appeal of going to facile slogans the late seventies and representation of archetypes and prototypes of the company in small Mafalda Friends (Guille, Susanita , Manolito , freedom) do not increase but decrease artistic values \u200b\u200bof this series, because, where other authors as Goscinny or own Calpurnio take the topic and make it a likeable character, Quino not convinced. I mention this, obviously, because I'm not convinced this supposed naivety of the character, something that does has millions of readers.
But is that public success and continuity of time series does not guarantee they are of such quality to be included in a selected elite of comics. It is true that it is sympathetic works often make a smile come to the mouth and the reader's mind, which is difficult given the space limitations of these strips, but the fact remains that nobody in their right mind would think include sketches of Álvarez Quintero in the category of great works of literature. Thus, tinged with autobiographical work Jim Davis , Garfield , the pet cat that Jon becomes master of the house, or the work Olaf the Viking consciously anachronistic, do not cease to be mere entertainment of rapid consumption.
The English case is unique, we enjoy some of the best artists in this genre, but have had limited distribution in God for what has been published frequently in journals, which have been provided with greater creative freedom. This is the case Ibáñez, Escobar and others, displaced by the newspaper cartoonists made a career, and work in publications as Mortadelo or DDT . Calpurnius , author Zaragoza, is a good example of how the inability to publish in newspapers took him to the fanzines , a Viper, a Cairo , and became, despite all the above on this subgenre, in an artist with a splendid work, Cuttlas , that is still alive! in a newspaper!.
Cuttlas is a personal weakness, not only by the surrealism of stories, a purported ease and simplicity, the touches of lyricism, the homages to western , the use of topical over the Indian and Mexicans, but because Cuttlas invented at every turn and surprise, for a character who has no faction has a personality much greater than all those mentioned in this post, almost a line, almost as a figure of Greco, no meat, all soul.

How To Practice Lacrosse Without A Wall

. DON MIKI.

(PROGRAMME thousand words. 22 September 2009)
could tell one of the most bitter childhood memories and more pleasurable, of course, I have lived associated with Mickey Mouse, it's about that, just had appendicocolic to read, I devoured all the published issues of the journal Don Miki. This was a weekly publication which appeared in 1976 and which were discovered in Spain, the Disney stories for us remaining associated only cartoons.
The truth is that these stories came late to Spain. Here you know the Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters throughout the films and shorts that occasionally looked in theaters. Other media such characters were the sticker album, marketer eternal appeal, and some books that reproduced the stories of movies or looking at some movies then not always with great success.
But Mickey Mouse was born much earlier, in 1928, and in his third appearance in a short cartoon and made history by becoming the first sound cartoon short history of cinema (Streamboat Willie "The Steamboat ). His original artist was Ub Iwerks, who most reliable version of the birth of Mickie, considered the father of character commissioned by the Disney studio had just lost the rights of the rabbit lucky for Universal.
The success of the character made the Kings Feature Syndicate acquired the rights for a daily strip in the American press who performed at the beginning as an artist Ub Iwerks, Win Smith and Walt Disney as an inker and writer. Less than a year later founded his own Ub Iwerks left the Disney studio and so, with Walt Disney entirely dedicated to animation, had to resort to a new artist for the newspaper comic strip of Mickey Mouse.
Floyd Gottfredson was a cartoonist who had just arrived at the Disney studios that did not engage in the very funny comics, preferring the animation, but the emphasis and strong Walt Disney character convinced him to engage temporarily in the drawings of the cartoons. Newcomer to comics, finished with the stories begun by Ub Iwerks and Win Smith and began building a little longer serial mouse. The first story exclusively attributable Gottfredson's Mickey Mouse in Death Valley.
this contribution is essential because from the moment the universe expands Mickey, Minnie and Pegleg Pete is passed to a variety of important characters, Clarabelle, Horace, Pluto, Goofy, Mortimer, Sylvester Shyster, Minnie's parents, etc ... And Mickey Mouse, the character he was born for the cinema, began a parallel life in the world of comics.
The primary difference in the subject of comics and the films is that the films retain a child and comical slant, while the comic is a comic adventure in which the main characters are animals, but not so animals. The stories we live Mickey and Minnie during the period between 1931 and 1955 when the Kings Feature Syndicate stops publishing long stories in the press, are those that could have lived any other comic book hero, disrupting traffickers alcohol and drugs, face ghosts, mystery cults in America Andean and Mayan travel to Europe and live adventures like those of prisoner of Zenda, or defeat the European dictators. It looks that are aimed at a more adult audience.
In 1955, censorship is rife, and the mouse suffers especially. Your space is confined to a daily strip and sheet semanl, thereby infringing freedom of expression, but also that the relationship between Minnie and Mickey must be different. Throughout the period before Mickey and Minnie had lived as a partner, share house, room for travel, on occasion appear in bed together and all this without being married, something that American society in 1955 could not allow for so from that time become eternal lovers who live in a platonic love that even blush with a kiss on the cheek. Ridiculous if we remember what they had lived together for over 20 years. Spain
A Gottfredson stories did not come at the time, were not translated or published, until in 1976 the publisher began publishing Montena sheet formats of Don Miki. A magazine that brought us Mickey Mouse stories alternating stories from 1955, with stories made in Italy, where he continued the franchise, and stories chosen from very early Mickey. It was a magazine for children so the stories were over-selected Mickey, resulting mouse sometimes a little smart aleck. However, little by little the old stories that Mickey got hooked as much as the other main protagonist of the journal, Donald Duck.
Donald Duck was a secondary luxury of a short animated Disney Silly Symphonies series, which also happened to comics. It was the hand of an Italian who became a space traveler who visited Mars. Until 1942 Donald Duck was a character whose strips were published in Italy in addition to the U.S., but they drew Italians, this year takes over Carl Barks Donald Duck and a magnificent work arises.
Donald Duck cartoon is a thug, that of cartoons is a "boy" normal lives and adventures of comic situations. Displayed his nephews, Huey, Louie and Johnny, Uncle Scrooge, Paperinik, Gyro Tarconi, young beavers, the Beagle Boys ... and, above all, the pool s IT Scrooge. Of special note is the saga of Donald Paperinik where almost a mediocre, becomes a superhero with a secret identity, costume, mask and plenty of gadgets designed by Gyro Gearloose. And Uncle Scrooge saga which tells the story of the Duck family, from ancient Egypt to modern America via Spain, England, Rome, and the Yukon Gold Rush, the conquest of Florida, ... Don Miki had the wisdom of giving ten coins with the effigy of Uncle Scrooge in each of the periods of the series and publish the manual Paperinik and the young beavers, a group like the Boy Scouts who championed Donald's nephews. Donald
is less receptive to love Mickey, his relationship with Daisy is a bachelor who does not want to compromise, but gets jealous if someone else comes up with Daisy Duck. Neither relationship went far this censorship, or the dark origins of his nephews, sons of Donald's sister, but his father was unknown.
BTW, my fond memory was read my full saga Paperinik and Uncle Scrooge, the thought that this collection was lost forever along with the currencies of Uncle Scrooge and the Junior Woodchucks Handbook.

What To Do With An Infected Rook Piercing

ASTERIX, Goscinny, Uderzo.

(PROGRAMME thousand words. 15 SEPTEMBER 2009)
When fate fate of the roads joined Uderzo, a cartoonist colorblind, and Goscinny, a great temperament, began the story of one of the most famous characters has been France. And not just talking about fictional characters but could include the Gaulish village of Armorica among the best known of France, and perhaps s the world, since Asterix is \u200b\u200bone of the most translated and disseminated publications, but not only that.
sinning I usually exaggerated, and French-speaking, but I draw the above have not in a vague knowledge of French culture but in a survey recently to our neighbors who considered Asterix the ideal candidate to occupy the Elysee. And in another of those surveys on the level of knowledge among the other European Union countries, appeared at the head of France's most memorable characters Napoleon & # 243; n, Asterix and The Inspector Clouseau (?)...
But leaving aside the ramblings about French culture, Asterix occupies a privileged place among the comics worldwide. This is not a comic book adult course but a publication directed to all audiences in which each according to his experience and level of reading may Take one thing or another, from parody to slapstick and visual jokes, from the mood a little smarter about customs and usages of antiquity, from linguistics to humor more childish.
Stories Asterix hooked by its simplicity and, unfortunately now lost, complexity of detail, documentation ambientacióny. The loss of these details is undoubtedly linked to the death of Goscinny and did not involve the disappearance of the series but it caused a change in quality, so great that Uderzo has charged to maintain and stretch the business that dignity. Perhaps
to start should have chosen the words that you start any episode of Asterix, " The year 50 BC Jesus Christ. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans ... Any? No! One small village of indomitable Gauls todavíay the invaders. " But I thought it would have been unoriginal and trite to be the resource to the fullest. The story told is that of a Gallic tribe after the battle of Alesia where Vercingetorix defeated Julius Caesar conquered Gaul and continues to resist the invader latino. The tribe is composed a handful of colorful characters among them Asterix, Obelix and Getafix e IdeaFixa. (I stress the tilde spelling for that pronunciation is the original stress level rather than the sharp that appeared after the movies)
Almost all adventures narrated the adventures of Asterix and Obelix to keep at bay the Roman soldiers, who stopped by a magic potion from the Druid Panorámix made. Some trips are made to find an ingredient or essential element to make the magic potion (The Golden Sickle, Asterix's Odyssey), sometimes is to help friends in trouble (Asterix in Britain Asterix in Belgium Asterix in Hispania), but almost always faced with the pirates m & # 225; s unfortunate the world.
Asterix stories began in 1959, and we must say that not over, not because Uderzo eventually signed a contract to let & # 237; to read the series once he had died. This caused great controversy, in which even the daughter said Uderzo against him, but it seems that compañíaa which seek to transfer their rights over the marketing of other formats to the co ; mic.
The list of books published to date is as follows (left links to the wikipedia):
Asterix the Gaul ( 1961 ) *
The Golden Sickle ( 1962 ) *
Asterix and the Goths ( 1963 ) *
Asterix gladiator ( 1964 ) *

Evil Obelix drink ( 1996 )
Asterix and Latraviata ( 2001 )
Asterix and the never seen ( 2003 )
The sky falls upon us! ( 2005 )
is a series of thirty-three stories that bind the cartoon films, films with real characters, to ; Albums illustrated several picture books and movies and which tells how Obelix fell into a cauldron of magic potion.
could establish a major split in the series, the aforementioned death of Goscinny in 1977 made it from The Great Divide, Uderzo guióny will take care of the drawing, bringing the series to other quality parameters of different, in which prevail the visual gag and fighting, either Roman or between Gauls.
The history shared by Uderzo and Goscinny could be divided into three parts, the first consisting of three early works, Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and Golden Sickle, Asterix and the Goths, in which characters are being created and appear the recurring elements of the work. From Gladiator Asterix the drawing changes, the characters become more friendly, both for the psychological profile as the picture much more rounded and cartoony. Succeed albums full of details that make Asterix in a reference work, a nod to the old references to classical Latin, Greek, amazing atmospheres (enough to see the journey through a procession full of Hispania, references to tea), and deliberate anachronisms and stereotypes about people and nations, to see the fine sense of humor René ; Goscinny that uncovers behind these stories. The last part of this common history suggests a tired writer with flashes of genius but the pulse of yesteryear.
Finally remark that the story of two friends (Asterix-Obelix-Goscinny Uderzo) has a richness that goes beyond criticisms that have been received for making a product simplistic and childish. Together they founded and directed the magazine Pilote, the cradle of great talents like Jean Giraud "Moebius" and may have had a fruitful life in the Comic Strip, Uderzo as a cartoonist, illustrator, editor and producer and co-authoring Goscinny other very important series as Lucky Luke, Iznogoud and the young Nicolas.
