Michelle Ann Abate examines what The Family Circus, Ziggy, and The Far Side all have in common--they're single-panel comics, a seemingly simple form that presents cartoonists with a wide range of possibilities. Covering everything from nineteenth-century political cartoons to twenty-first-century web comics, she reveals their complexity, artistry, and influence.
