Written in a style pretty clearly and deliberately non-technical, this book explores the basics of a theory of comedy, which has experienced over the past 15 years, profound modifications. It supplies a rigorous essential evaluation of diverse theoretical approaches as well as a description of the original types, mechanisms plus the nature of comic books depending on the most recent developments in stripologie. Far from the affectations of some scientific literature that shows the possibility of a narrative solely on the image and displays it to take into account the weakness of semiotics, is that the relationship among text and image is just not fixed, not the cartoon, codes "thinking" aren't intended to express, as the distance shown in between the Victorian novel and contemporary "BD" is much less than one particular. The state of the comic strip just isn't evade. 1 chapter is devoted to the fight against the secular community educators led by BD insults turn the Stooges, the U.S. and devoted manga strips. This book is ultimately a defense and illustration of a literature that was generally a victim from the speeches we have had in it (nostalgic, populist academic purists)
