Tallaght Library

A talk with Michael Connerty about his book 'The Comic Strip Art of Jack B. Yeats'

In this talk Michael Connerty, lecturer in animation and visual culture at Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology, talks about his book The Comic Strip Art of Jack B. Yeats. In the book Michael argues for a reassessment of Yeats as a professional comic strip artist during a twenty-five year period prior to his success as a painter. Michael outlines Yeats' central position at a number of London-based comic publications, such as Comic Cuts and The Funny Wonder, which sold in the hundreds of thousands every week, and interrogates the absence of this material from art-historical and biographical accounts of his career. He also gives a critical evaluation of the long-overlooked characters that Yeats designed, such as the Conan Doyle parody Chubblock Homes, the performing horse Signor McCoy, and numerous other popular series of the periodThis event is part of South Dublin Libraries' ComicFest 2023'. An annual festival celebrating the medium of comics with events and workshops for all ages.
