Summary Annotation In a world increasingly dominated by visual sensation, understanding the role and influence of comics and cartoon humor in popular culture has become essential. "Catalan Cartoons" examines the changing fortunes of Catalan cartooning against the shifting political landscape in the period 1898 1982. It considers how Catalan satire has been shaped by periods of relative calm as well as periods of censorship, violence, war, and dictatorship, and it demonstrates how the cartooning tradition did not end with the Franco dictatorship, but instead continued in a number of adapted forms, playing its own role in the period s politics. The first English-language book on twentieth century cartooning in Catalonia, "Catalan Cartoons" offers a fascinating study of this complex and politically charged modern art form."
