...Good Man, Charlie Brown. The U.S. comic strip has often mimicked and miniaturized the battle of the sexes. In Bringing Up Father, the explosively frustrated, cigar-chewing Jiggs is tamed by the shrew Maggie. In Blondie, the hapless, incompetent Dagwood is forever being put to rights by his cool, frizzy-haired wife. In Peanuts, Charles M.

...dozens of tiny people running, fighting, pathetic, but defiant. Sometimes, beneath the shadow of an unseen airplane, his people stream across an open plaza routed from a riot, or perhaps in some more existential form of flight. Other canvases are composed of a series of panels reminiscent of a strip of movie film or contact prints: La Protesta (the Protest), for example, shows a couple shaking fists in one quarter of the canvas, fleeing in the next, lying dead in a pool of blood in the final half...
