Ian Gordon explains how similar humor played out in comic strips across different cultures and humor styles. By examining \u003ci\u003eSkippy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGinger Meggs\u003c\/i\u003e, the book shows a good deal of similarities between American and Australian humor while establishing some distinct differences. In examining the French translation of Perry Winkle, the book explores questions of language and culture. By shifting focus to a later period and looking at the American and British comics entitled \u003ci\u003eDennis the Menace\u003c\/i\u003e, two very different comics bearing the same name, \u003ci\u003eKid Comic Strips\u003c\/i\u003e details both differences in culture and traditions and the importance of the type of reader imagined by the artist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Gordon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137561971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137561978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Ian Gordon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087677534463,"sku":"9781137561978","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7e2b847-a18d-4172-9eb1-6b25c5753fb1.jpg?v=1769100789","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kid-comic-strips-ian-gordon-9781137561978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
