An interesting collection of cartoons by the famed New Yorker cartoonist and author of childrens' books, done under a pseudonym (A. Redfield) for the CPUSA's Daily Worker. The style is unmistakably Hoff, and it's something of a wonder no one really tumbled on to the connection at the time. The cartoons are, naturally, from a hard-left perspective, or at least most of them are. A significant number could quite easily have been slotted into The New Yorker, then and now, while others toe the party line pretty faithfully. Some cartoons are so eye-rollingly heavy-handed that they fall flat, and collected together, you can see the same joke repeated over and over. A few cartoons are gems, though. There's some valuable context provided by a modern set of notes. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Published under the pseudonym A. Redfield by prominent New Yorker contributor Syd Hoff in the 1930s, these mordant and marvellously drawn gag comics skewer the rich and powerful with a pointed pen. During his career as a New Yorker cartoonist, and before he wrote Danny and the Dinosaur, Syd Hoff wrote under a different name. He was A. Redfield, a cartoonist for the communist newspaper the Daily Worker, and a scourge of the rich and powerful. Scorning what he saw as the complicity and stale jokes of cartooning peers, Hoff set his sights on the ruling class and revealed them for what they were- hilariously inept, deeply selfish, and incredibly dangerous. Hoff spared nothing from his pen, lampooning police brutality, thin-skinned industrialists, racists, and the looming threat of fascism at home and abroad. This new edition of The Ruling Clawss includes a new introduction by the historian Philip Nel, who reveals_x2028_ the story behind the rise and disappearance of Hoffʼs Redfield. The Ruling Clawss cements Hoff as a master of the gag comic, whose work remains powerfully funny and troublingly resonant. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
