Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. Transgressive humor from the pages of National Lampoon (and a few other sources) dating from the 1970s, '80s, and early '90s. Drawn in a style that echoes classic comic strip art from the 1930s, Flenniken's little waifs of only thirteen -- Bonnie McFarland and her friend Pepsi -- are raging feminists and sex positive explorers of their adolescence. (Trots is Bonnie's dog, who usually contributes little beyond a pithy and thematic last-panel punchline.) Designed to be shocking, these strips of one to four pages succeed in a most unsettling way, with lots of adult language, nudity, and sexual situations. The author states she omitted some strips that did not age well, and seeing what she let through, I can only wonder what the hell could have possibly been in those. The execution may not be for everyone, but there are still some very good points made and some funny jokes spun. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"In the 1970s and 1980s, National Lampoon was home to not only some of the funniest humor writing in America, but also many of its best cartoons. The best of them was Trots and Bonnie by Shary Flenniken, a comic strip that followed the adventures and mishaps of the guileless teenager Bonnie and her wisecracking dog, Trots. Bonnie stumbles through the mysteries of adulthood, as Flenniken-one of the few female contributors to the Lampoon-dissects the harsh realities of American life. Dating, marriage, sex, and violence are all confronted with fearlessness and outrageous humor, and rendered in Flenniken's timeless, gorgeous artwork. After all these years, they have lost none of their power to shock and amuse. This collection, hand picked by Flenniken and with an introduction by New Yorker cartoonist Emily Flake, is the first book of Trots and Bonnie ever published in America, a long-overdue introduction to some of the most stunning and provocative comics of the twentieth century"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
