Maumee by Milton Caniff

I recently acquired this very unusual daily comic Steve Canyon by Milton Caniff from 1968.

Milton Caniff remained loyal to his alma mater, Ohio State, often referencing it in his Steve Canyon strips as "Maumee University." In this humorous large panel, Thud Shelley, a Steve Canyon recurring character, takes center stage at the stadium after a bizarre chain of events leads to an unexpected outcome.

I was only surprised because it seemed nobody from Maumee University tried to bid for this comic. Bad for them, good for me. 

This is not my first Milton Caniff comic. You can see more here, here, and here.

 

 

Poster for Transformation/Metamorphosis

My poster design for the play Transformation by JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia. 

Transformation is a play inspired by Franz Kafka's novel Metamorphosis. The theme of the play is depression, the illness of one of the family members and his death. Why is it sometimes easier to let one of the family members die to make everyone better off? The play is made from personal experiences, first of all of the director, and then of the actors. What does it mean to wake up and live like an insect in today's world? What does the world look like from the perspective of a mentally ill person? What does the transformation of an entire family that lives with an "insect" look like?
