The Art of the Funnies: An Aesthetic History

A single-issue scholarly work from University Press of Mississippi, The Art of the Funnies: An Aesthetic History (1994–present) offers a thoughtful, academic exploration of the visual and narrative artistry of newspaper comic strips. Written by Robert C. Harvey, this volume serves as a compact critical history, examining the craft and cultural significance of the funnies from their early days through the late 20th century. It stands as a unique, standalone contribution to comics scholarship, distinct from ongoing series.
