”
[C]artoon as text, as a cultural artefact which is neither a passive reflector or reality, nor passively received by readers. In this light a critical historical reading of a cartoon, or a body of cartoons, must look to understand the conditions both of its making and of its reception. […] Reading this source may also require some appreciation of its technological possibilities and limitations.
