...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. Crumb, whose exemplarily twisted panels first appeared in Kurtzman's post-Mad magazine Help!, and Art Spiegelman, whose Pulitzer-prizewinning Maus in 1992 cued a lot of people in to a belated appreciation of the form...

...Harvard—we are just moving forward aggressively on a parallel track.” Nevertheless, an open meeting tonight in which residents and the Board planned to listen to presentations by four architectural firms contending to design a new Charlesview complex was cancelled. Chief University Planner Kathy Spiegelman did not respond to two calls for comment yesterday afternoon. And University spokeswoman Lauren Marshall would not comment on how the Charlesview Board’s announcement would impact the negotiations. “We continue to work hard to find a mutually acceptable solution and look forward to continuing...
