A new collection of questioning, serious, reverent, and humorous letters which children have written to God.
Deze auteur, beter bekend onder zijn pseudoniem Stoo Hample, was een Amerikaanse auteur van kinderboeken, performer, toneelschrijver en cartoonist. Zijn kenmerkende benadering van verhalen vertellen ving het eenvoudige, oprechte perspectief van de kindertijd op en resoneerde diep bij lezers. Zijn werk wordt geprezen om zijn unieke stem en zijn vermogen om verbinding te maken met publiek van alle generaties en culturen. Door middel van zijn schrijven bood hij een ontroerende en vaak humoristische verkenning van universele thema's gezien door de ogen van jonge kinderen.






A new collection of questioning, serious, reverent, and humorous letters which children have written to God.
Woody Allen's classic neurosis, humorous life philosophy, and complex relationships, are embodied in the classic comic strip "Inside Woody Allen," syndicated daily by King Features from 1976 to 1984, illustrated by Stuart Hample. Dread & Superficiality: Woody Allen as Comic Strip is a compilation of 220 of the best of the comic's comics, all reproduced from the original art, along with sketches, photographs, and development work. An all-new preface by Hample provides a rare glimpse into the creation of this material, revealing a long-overlooked facet of Allen's career that is smart and funny and as timeless as the man who has inspired a generation with his unique vision.“Dread & Superficiality is a must for Woody Allen fans, both for its reminder of how iconic he used to be, and for Hample’s frank introduction, in which he writes about working with Allen in the early days of the strip.”–The Onion A/V Club “…this thorough collection is an unexpected delight. As a primer for would-be cartoonists, the text provides great insights into the development of this sadly dying art form.” –Miami Herald
Nel 1976 il disegnatore Stuart Hample chiede a Woody Allen, già famosissimo, il permesso di trasformarlo nel protagonista della sua prossima striscia. Allen non solo accetta, ma prende a cuore il progetto e collabora con Hample su ogni vignetta pretendendo riunioni settimanali, mettendogli a disposizione la sua sterminata produzione di gag illuminanti e paradossali, inventandone altre sul momento. Nasce così "La vita secondo Woody Allen", che proseguirà con successo, sui quotidiani di tutti gli Stati Uniti, fino al 1984. Quasi un nuovo libro di Allan Stewart Königsberg in arte Woody, un tesoro che ne mostra l'universo geniale e schizoide da una diversa prospettiva e apre una nuova finestra sulla prima incarnazione del regista/scrittore/drammaturgo/musicista newyorkese, quella di "Io e Annie" e "Manhattan", sicuramente più divertente di quella attuale ma non meno profonda. Le migliori 300 strisce corredate da bozzetti, interviste, dietro le quinte, fotografi, che completano la figura di uno fra i più grandi umoristi del Ventesimo secolo e anche del Ventunesimo. (Introduzione di R. Buckminster Fuller)
„V kůži Woodyho Allena“ je přesně to, co název slibuje: komiksový strip ze života neurotika, ironika, notorického hledače smyslu života, který nachází jen pochybnosti, věčně neúspěšného sukničkáře a vtipného filosofa, který je na psychoterapeutově lenošce pečený vařený. Stripy, jejichž autorem je karikaturista Stuart Hample, vycházely denně v letech 1976 až 1984 ve 460 novinách a stávající výbor představuje 220 nejlepších z nich, spolu s autorovou obsáhlou předmluvou, která nám nechává nahlédnout do méně známé kapitoly Woodyho života i do zákulisí komiksové novinové tvorby."
