Toons in Toyland
Author: Tim Hollis
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1626745005
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1027
Book Description
Every living American adult likely prized one childhood toy that featured the happy image of an animated cartoon or comic strip character. There is an ever-growing market for these collectibles, and stacks of books pose as pricing guides. Yet Tim Hollis is the first to examine the entire story of character licensing and merchandising from a historical view. Toons in Toyland focuses mainly on the post-World War II years, circa 1946-1980, when the last baby boomers were in high school. During those years, the mass merchandising of cartoon characters peaked. However, the concept of licensing cartoon characters for toys, trinkets, and other merchandise dates back to the very first newspaper comics character, the Yellow Kid, who debuted in 1896 and was soon appearing on a variety of items. Eventually, cartoon producers and comic strip artists counted on merchandising as a major part of their revenue stream. It still plays a tremendous role in the success of the Walt Disney Company and many others today. Chapters examine storybooks (such as Little Golden Books), comic books, records, board games, jigsaw puzzles, optical toys (including View-Master and Kenner's Give-a-Show Projector), and holiday paraphernalia. Extending even beyond toys, food companies licensed characters galore--remember the Peanuts characters plugging bread and Dolly Madison snacks? And roadside attractions, amusement parks, campgrounds, and restaurants--think Yogi Bear and Jellystone Park Campgrounds--all bought a bit of cartoon magic to lure the green waves of tourists' dollars.

New York IN TOON is a Karmic, Cosmic and Comic Book Reality Narrative Book of Cartoons by the versatile Multimedia Installation Artist Illustrator and Writer Peter G Pereira. Where Have We Been? Where Are We Now and Where Will We Be Tomorrow? A series of New York City Cartoons, Photoons, Illustrations and Photographic Artwork -as an Original Tapestry woven from his syndicated published work 2015-2020 in Our Town Eastsider, The Westside Spirit, Chelsea-Clinton News, Our Town Downtowner, Spirit Westsider, and N.Y. Press. (Straus Media Newspapers) - with never before seen behind-the-scenes New York Stories with Day in the Life and Accidental Tourist Observations. IN TOON REVIEWS: "Having known Peter over 40 years since our adolescence he has always been an exceptionally gifted artist, able to work in virtually any medium, with ferocious intelligence and boundless imagination. His aesthetic vision, his genius, and his enduring originality make him one of the most exciting artists of our times. "Holt Mccallany Actor/Writer/Producer – 100s of TV and Film Roles - Bill Tench of MINDHUNTER “Peter Pereira is a sharp and savvy observer of New York City life. In his whimsical Toons, Pereira captures snapshots and soundbites from the streets, shops and restaurants around town that others often miss. He’s a terrific reporter and artist – it is always a delight to have his work in our newspapers.” Alexis Gelber Editor in Chief, Straus News Manhattan Former Editor-in-Chief Newsweek International "Peter Pereira is a multi-talented New York artist and photographer. His work is unique and powerful. I always enjoy his artistic endeavors and I'm sure you will too!" Alan Merrill Musician/Composer – Author of “I Love Rock n Roll” “Peter Pereira is a unique and creative storyteller. His accidental tourist drawings of everyday experiences are original hybrids of photography, drawing, painting, and presented within the idiom of comics. While collaborating with Peter on a series of stop motion animation stills from my series of Alice in Dystopia, the artistic dialogue between us and our works was a very rewarding experience.” Jeanne Jaffe – Professor Emeritus in Fine Arts from University of the Arts in Philadelphia -Director of International Programs at the Jaffe Center for Book Arts “Peter is a good soul! He’s both fun and funny and I find him and his Cartoon Universe to be irreverent and relevant all at the same comic time!!”Franne Lee – an Obie and Tony Awardee with an Emmy for creating the iconic looks of such SNL characters as the Bees, and the Coneheads. "An amusing collection of New York City moments diversely illuminated by a multi- talented author. I especially enjoyed the areas that focused on the Upper East Side. It was fun to see familiar locales and neighborhood characters. ”David H. Reuss Treasurer – New York Society of Illustrators "Peter Pereira's cartoons and photoons show that magic that is all around us but that we often don't recognize or acknowledge, filtered through Pereira's sensitive eye. It is a heightened reality that makes the normal extraordinary."-- David KorenFounder, FIGMENT Arts New York and International“ ‘Cartoons’ doesn’t do Peter’s ingenious artwork justice. Eye-catching and on point, he decries how animals are being exploited—from giraffes killed for “sport” to fish dying on pet-store shelves—and turns a light on our kinship with all of them. It’s true: A picture is worth a thousand words.” Ingrid Newkirk/Tracy Reitman PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) “The Easter Eggs never cease! IN TOON works well…nice flow of Images and Ideas. Takes you through the eyes of many viewpoints. “ Chris Teracino - Manhattan Fan and Friend Toons, toons, cartoons, Peter Pereira brings to the reader images of joyous neighborhood life starting with the Yorkville section of Manhattan, New York City featuring neighborhood joints such as Logos Bookstore, Dorians Seafood Market among others as well as showing the hustle bustle of York Avenue, a wonderful cartoon vision of the present soon to be the past as time marches on.

The Laughing Librarian
Author: Jeanette C. Smith
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 078649056X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Despite the stodgy stereotypes, libraries and librarians themselves can be quite funny. The spectrum of library humor from sources inside and outside the profession ranges from the subtle wit of the New Yorker to the satire of Mad. This examination of American library humor over the past 200 years covers a wide range of topics and spans the continuum between light and dark, from parodies to portrayals of libraries and their staffs as objects of fear. It illuminates different types of librarians--the collector, the organization person, the keeper, the change agent--and explores stereotypes like the shushing little old lady with a bun, the male scholar-librarian, the library superhero, and the anti-stereotype of the sexy librarian. Profiles of the most prominent library humorists round out this lively study.
