Several of the chosen 15 created enduring characters, styles and narratives from the golden age of the daily strip. Peanuts' Charles Schulz is represented, as are the creator-artists of Popeye (E.C. Segar), Dick Tracy (Chester Gould) and Terry and the Pirates (Milton Caniff). From the '50s, the emphasis segues to comic books and graphic novels. With Mad, Harvey Kurtzman virtually invented what would become the era's dominant tone of irreverent self-reference. He inspired several of the artists, including R.

The finest episodes come in the more mature later seasons--especially the Sondheimesque musical "Once More, with Feeling" in Season...
...taking to the maternal role instead? In this movie I did. I felt she was a progressive, unusual, forthright mother and loved what she had chosen for her life. Every day I had a little time by myself where I would try and remember my mother. She was this fantastic, spirited woman. She made all my clothes. She and I were co-conspirators...
