Rose O'Neill exhibit visit & photos by Bruce Guthrie

A Kewpie pointing the way

The Sordoni Art Gallery at Wilkes University has an amazing exhibit on the works of cartoonist, illustrator, artist and writer Rose O'Neill.  O'Neill, who died in 1944, is credited as the first female cartoonist published in the United States.  She was the creator of the Kewpies (see some of the images below).  Personally, I've been weirded out by the cute characters but I grew up on Talking Tina, Smurfs, and Chuckie.  Back in 1909 when the characters made their debut in Ladies' Home Journal, this wasn't an issue.  The characters were immensely popular in print and were manufactured as bisque dolls starting in 1912, becoming one of the first mass-marketed toys in the United States.

O'Neill retained the rights to her creation and made a fortune using them in books as well as advertising for companies like Jell-O.  She also did unrelated illustrations for books and magazines like Puck.  The exhibit covers the whole range of her illustrated life.  It also includes some of the Kewpie bisques and other sculptures.  (Again, I found the Kewpie dolls to be pretty creepy.)  The Jell-O advertisement pieces came from the Jell-O museum. (Yep!  There's a Jell-O museum!)  Other pieces came from the Norman Rockwell Museum, private collectors, and a whole bunch of other sources.

I got a kick out of looking at her signature for the Kewpie drawings -- in some cases it morphed into a figure participating in the story.  

I had to ask if she drew any non-white Kewpies.  Apparently not.  She did a black Kewpie doll (which, to me, looked even creepier than the the others) because she thought representation was important but, like Norman Rockwell, she worked within publisher limits and they didn't want black characters offending snowflake southern whites.  Rockwell quit doing the Saturday Evening Post covers because they said he was only allowed to show blacks in servile roles.  Rose drew some black characters in Puck cartoons.  The signage says that she avoided stereotypes and "she made the definite choice to show people of color, women, and the poor and unhoused with dignity and truth."

A lot of her work was destroyed in a fire but what they had in the show was really impressive, covering all aspects of her career.  The latter career pieces included a pin-up (she did four of them in the 1930s -- the signage sounded like she did it because she was short on cash, having lost a bundle in the Depression) and some from her truly different "Sweet Monsters" series as well as art she did for novels that she wrote.  She published her first novel, "The Loves of Edwy," in 1904.

The show catalog was 172 pages and measures 12" by 10".  You can pick up one free copy at the gallery but otherwise they request a $30 contribution.  It's worth it.

Like with the Ralph Steadman exhibit at American University's Katzen Arts Center back in 2018 (which had splatter paint on random walls), there are Kewpie characters appearing in random places on the museum walls.

O'Neill, BTW, was born and spent her first couple of years within blocks of where the gallery is today.  The gallery's first exhibit 50 years ago was George Caitlin, who was also born in Wilkes-Barre.  The other sort of big name artist from there was Franz Kline.

My obsessive photo shoot is on:

Oct 4: Author Talk - Trung Le Nguyen at DC's MLK library

[this book was very good. I plan to go]

Author Talk - Trung Le Nguyen

At a time when LGTBQ and API voices are targeted for book bans, join us for a special conversation with Vietnamese American cartoonist Trung Le Nguyen.

In partnership with The Vietnam Society and the Mayor's Office on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs, join the Library for an exciting conversation with Eisner and Lambda Award nominated cartoonist Trung Le Nguyen, author of The Magic Fish. At a time when graphic novels, especially those written by LGBTQ authors and writers of color, are being targeted by book bans, we are thrilled to host Nguyen to celebrate his work telling stories from the API and LGBTQ communities. In conversation with former Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius, Nguyen will discuss his writing and art and the importance of representation in storytelling.

About the speakers:

Trung Le Nguyen is an award-winning Vietnamese-American cartoonist, artist, and writer from Minnesota.

Trung's first original graphic novel, The Magic Fish, was published in 2020 through Random House Graphic, an imprint of Penguin Random House. He has been nominated for an Eisner, a prize at Angoulême (France), a GLAAD award, and has won two Harvey Awards and a Romics (Italy). Trung has also contributed work for DC Comics, Oni Press, Boom! Studios, Image Comics, and Marvel.He currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota and raises a small flock of very spoiled hens.

A diplomat for nearly thirty years, Ted Osius served from 2014 to 2017 as U.S. ambassador to Vietnam, a country he has loved since serving there in the 1990s, when he helped open the U.S. Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City and was one of the first U.S. diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi.  Leading a mission team of 900, Ambassador Osius devised and implemented strategies to deepen security ties, sign tens of billions of dollars' worth of commercial deals, expand educational exchange, conclude agreements on trade, law enforcement, environmental protection, and address honestly a difficult past.  Ambassador Osius' leadership helped bring about a positive transformation in U.S.-Vietnam relations.

Interview: Cracking The Cold Conspiracy of 'Antarctica' [ Simon Birks ]

Meet a Local Comics Writer: A Chat with Alex Lupp (updated)

Alex Lupp flanked by collaborators Erin Lisette and Jade Lee
by Mike Rhode

This past weekend the second comic in Alex Lupp's Sand universe debuted at Fantom Comics. Sand is written by Lupp and illustrated by people he contracts with for the work, so far his friends Jade Lee (the first one) and Erin Lisette (the new one). I hope to feature interviews with all three. Alex is the first before his travelling to MICE to sell the book this current weekend. UPDATED with a Square City question at the end.


What type of comic work or cartooning do you do?

I am a writer, although I have occasionally done some work (digitally) lettering comics.


How do you do it? Traditional pen and ink, computer or a combination?

Being a writer it's probably easy to assume that most of my work is done on a computer, but the initial phases of brainstorming and outlining are often done by pen in a notebook. It's only later when the script begins to take shape that I switch to a computer where it's much easier (and quicker) to sift through the ideas and give them shape.

Sand art by Jade Lee

When (within a decade is fine) and where were you born?

I was born in 1987 in Bucharest, Romania.


Why are you in Washington now?  What neighborhood or area do you live in?

I came to the DC area in 2000, when I was 13 years old. Ever since my life has pivoted around Washington, whether going to high school in Arlington, VA, or currently being a professional (yes, day jobs are a reality of comics work). Throughout the years, I've lived in both VA but also MD, although somehow never in DC. This area is my home.


What is your training and/or education in cartooning?

It's all self-taught. Easy to say for a writer (I know!), however being friends with comic artists, seeing their process and slowly absorbing as much as possible has added up over the years. Outside of that, I read a lot, and after seeing one or two example scripts in the back of comics, I thought hey I should try that too!

That said, the one invaluable experience I've had as a writer has been to letter my own comics. Having to (literally) put the words over the art myself was eye opening, and definitely helped me write better for the finished page. I suppose there is something to the Marvel style of comics writing, where dialogue is written after the art is done for each page.


Who are your influences?

The very first comic script I wrote used a nine panel format, most easily recognized as that used by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons in Watchmen, so it would be disingenuous not to recognize that influence. That said, I am an avid consumer of books, comics, movies, television and anime like Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon, and later Trigun and Cowboy Bebop, all of which left their mark in some way and certainly informed the world building of my current comic Sand. Then when it comes to desert worlds, how can we not mention Frank Herbert's Dune as well? it's all in there somewhere! Even the work of (local legend) Carla Speed McNeil has had an influence on my world building. Discovering and reading Finder about a decade ago was foundational!

Sand: Tale of Luc & San art by Jade Lee

If you could, what in your career would you do-over or change?

I would have pursued learning to draw. The job of a writer in comics is to be a good communicator. If you cannot convey your ideas to the artist making them come alive, then you have failed. It's taken years to better understand that side of the collaboration, and nothing could have conveyed that better than having more hands-on experience myself. It all just gives you more perspective, it's no surprise that the likes of Keith Giffen, Becky Cloonan, Jeff Lemire, or even Grant Morrison are either also known as artists or capable of drawing.


Sand art by Jade Lee

What work are you best-known for?

Sand, which currently spans two issues, with more coming soon! 

The story of Sand begins with a sibling rivalry between two twin deities that accidentally results in the creation of a world. This Tale of Luc & San is told in the first issue, which debuted all the way in 2017 at Small Press Expo (SPX), and was illustrated by Jade Lee.

This world created by the twins is called Sand because of its vast deserts, and is then explored in the succeeding issues. First in Of Wolf & Prey we learn something about the pre-human world of fauna and flora. This issue was illustrated by Erin Lisette, and debuted this year (also) at SPX.

Another two issues, Eyes of Red and Twin Blades, are planned for next year, and will cover later eras and the evolution of the world from prehistoric to complex (human) societies. Eyes of Red is currently being illustrated by Margaret Huey, and will tell the tale of Kayla Red Eyes and her journey to discover the source of life on the world of Sand. We're hoping to debut Eyes of Red in early 2024.


Windswept

What work are you most proud of?

Definitely Sand, it's my most ambitious work to date. That said, a short comic I did several years ago, Windswept, is very personal to my experience as an immigrant and roots in Romania, and deserves a special mention. It was illustrated by Emily R. Gillis, and initially featured in the Square City Anthology Sensus Obscura. It can now be found on my website for free.


What would you like to do or work on in the future?

Keeping this simple, I'd like to finish telling the tale of Sand.


What do you do when you're in a rut or have writer's block?

I go for a run. Whenever I'm stuck, the repetitive exercise always seems to do the trick. I suppose it's like a form of meditation, your mind clears, and then the ideas just come bursting out. Then it's just a matter of having the discipline to write consistently so those ideas can take shape and grow.


Sand art by Erin Lisette

What do you think will be the future of your field?

Comics will never die, there is something essential about the combination of written word and visual image which uniquely speaks to the human imagination. However, how we consume comics is something that is constantly changing. There is no one source of truth, whether it's the mainstream of DC & Marvel, or webcomics, or alternative press, or indie press, etc... If we can look beyond comics as an IP farm for movies & television, there is always something exciting happening in artist alleys or indie shows.


What local cons do you attend? The Small Press Expo, Awesome Con, or others? Any comments about attending them?


I've attended or exhibited at many local shows, from the Small Press Expo to Awesome Con, or Baltimore Comic-Con. Hard not to mention DC Zine Fest or Baltimore's Hallow-Zine as well, where I've never exhibited, but deserve mention for all the amazing local talent they feature. Comics is a small community on the grand scale, and even with all its occasional bumps and bruises, it's always heartwarming to be reminded we're all in this together whenever we gather for a show or convention.


 

What comic books do you read regularly or recommend? Do you have a local store?


My local store is Fantom Comics, I've been going there since 2010 when they had a store at Pentagon City in Arlington. Their events and community have been a lynch pin of my comics experience, and easily a weekly highlight when I get my comics.

I don't even know where to start with recommendations, but how about a plug? I also do a podcast, called Double AA, with my friend & collaborator Adam Wescott. We talk about everything from comics and manga, to video games, and anime. We recently featured Atomic Robo by writer Brian Clevinger and artist Scott Wegener and River's Edge by Kyoko Okazaki. We also have an episode coming up about the manga publisher Glacier Bay Books, and the unique spot they occupy in terms of bringing indie and alternative manga to the US.


What's your favorite thing about DC?


How cosmopolitan it is. Being an immigrant, I am never too far from reconnecting to my roots, or being able to connect to something entirely new. Living here it's easy to take the cultural diversity for granted, but it's unique and should be treasured.


Least favorite?


The gentrification, it's killing the city's identity.


What monument or museum do you like to take visitors to?


The National Gallery of Art, not just because of the art collections or installations, but also their (free) screenings which vary from classic art cinema to documentaries.


How about a favorite local restaurant?


Not in DC, but Bob & Edith's in Arlington is a local staple, and the best dang diner around (I'm not saying that because I grew up around there or anything...)


Do you have a website or blog?


Where you can find my collaborators:

You can also find my podcast, Double AA, on Spotify (among other places): https://open.spotify.com/show/4taL95534um97w4TO5gkQZ?si=3dcb3b82d2c4455b

Lastly, you can find my comics work on sandcomic.com.

 

How has the COVID-19 outbreak affected you, personally and professionally?


COVID is a big reason why Sand has taken longer to produce. Everything just took longer. The time in quarantine was not a magical time to create, nor was it good for collaboration. The unique mental stress brought on by a world changing pandemic froze me and many others in a statis where creation was impossible. The ongoing risk of COVID remains a factor even as we've returned to comic shows in the past year. Losing several weeks while being sick with COVID last year was hard, both for the day job, but also in terms of staying on track with creative pursuits. If there is one silver lining, it's that work from home has become possible for some, and is (maybe) being normalized as an alternative work location. Having to balance a day job and creative pursuits by night is always hard, but becomes easier when work from home is a possibility -- just the time earned back by not having to commute alone is invaluable. 


You mentioned your work in a Square City anthology. Were you a member of the Square City Comics co-op? If so can you tell us something about the group? Does it still exist?

 

 I was, and in fact a member of the "Inner" Square (basically the leadership group). I took a step back in terms of my involvement in 2019, largely because I wanted to focus on my creative output. It was just too much to help organize activities, edit the anthologies (while having a day job) and then also write my own stuff. At the same time some of the original creators behind Square City left the area, or otherwise became less involved.

With the pandemic in 2020, especially how it affected comic shows, it became harder to keep in touch or have in person events in general. After all that, I'm really not sure about the status of Square City. 

 

(editor's note: The Twitter group defined itself as "A collective of comic creators who meet in the DC Metro area." The group's Facebook page hasn't been updated since late 2018, and the same appears to be true for the Tumblr blog)
