Barnaby (comics) (original) (raw)
Barnaby is a comic strip which began April 20, 1942, in the newspaper PM and was later syndicated in 64 American newspapers (for a combined circulation of more than 5,500,000). Created by Crockett Johnson, who is best known today for his children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon, the strip featured a cherubic-looking five-year-old and his far-from-cherubic fairy godfather, Jackeen J. O'Malley, a short, cigar-smoking man with four tiny wings. With a distinctive appearance because of its use of typography, the strip had numerous reprints and was adapted into a 1940s stage production.

(en) Barnaby est un comic strip de Crockett Johnson lancé le 20 avril 1942 dans le quotidien new-yorkais (en)] et publié jusqu'au 2 février 1952, alors qu'il était réalisé depuis 1946 par le dessinateur Jack Morley et le scénariste Ted Ferro. Destinée dans un style très minimaliste, cette bande dessinée humoristique met en scène Barnaby Baxter, un garçonnet de 5 ans, qui après avoir souhaité recevoir la visite d'une bonne fée se retrouve affublé de Jackeen O. M'Malley, petit homme bedonnant aux ailes de fée qui utilise son cigare pour lancer les sorts, ainsi que de tout un ensemble d'autres personnages magiques. Au plus fort de sa popularité, il était publié dans 64 journaux, atteignant une diffusion cumulée de 5,5 millions d'exemplaires, ce qui était peu pour les standards de l'époque. Malgré un réel succès critique, la série est donc arrêtée après dix ans de diffusion avec le sixième anniversaire de Barnaby. De septembre 1960 à avril 1962 Johnson et (en) tentent de relancer la série avec le dessinateur Warren Sattler mais la tentative fait long feu. (fr) Barnaby è una striscia a fumetti comico-satirica creata da e pubblicata tra il 1942 e il 1952. La serie debuttò nell'aprile 1942 per la rivista sperimentale newyorkese PM e fu in seguito distribuita dalla Chicago Sun-Times Syndacate. Protagonisti della striscia erano il bambino Barnaby, figlio di genitori borghesi e spesso distratti, e il suo angelo custode (definito dalla striscia "Fato Padrino") Mr. O'Malley, che utilizzava la sua pipa come bacchetta magica. Spesso definita come "striscia intellettuale", la serie era ricca di riferimenti letterari e di cronaca, e l'autore adottò per essa una particolare tecnica, dattilografando i testi delle nuvolette, il che permetteva di inserire all'interno di esse il 60% circa di testo in più e di dare molto più peso al racconto scritto che a quello disegnato. Molto amato dalla critica, portò la scrittrice Dorothy Parker a definirlo "il più importante apporto alla cultura americana Dio solo sa da quanti anni". In Italia la serie fu pubblicata sulle riviste Il Politecnico e linus, e alcune storie furono raccolte in due volumi della serie Oscar Mondadori. (it) |
