Comic Empires
Comic Empires: Imperialism in Cartoons, Caricature, and Satirical Art abounds in transnational support for its premise that editorial cartooning developed through imperialism, which not only prompted satirical art but also circulated its political vocabulary.

Rebecca Wanzo has written an important book whose significance for humor studies extends beyond the funny and satiric examples that she explicates along with a greater number of dramatic ones.

She demonstrates not only how such stylized…

American Humor and Matters of Empire
This article draws on a broad range of examples to outline how imperialism can serve as a key concept for the cultural analysis of American humor across varied themes, media, genres, historical eras, and identity standpoints. Judith Yaross Lee invites other scholars to join her at the 2020 Quarry Farm Symposium on the topic—and in their own research on stand-up comedy and literary, film, television, and graphic humor—in order to probe how the une…
