Comics Arts Conference Session #8: Diagnosing Sick Humor as a Comics Genre
Sunday March 30, 2025 12:30pm - 1:30pm PDT
Room 210
In the 1950s, “sick” humor emerged in comics, novelty recordings, and club acts. By 1959, “sick” had a specific genre identity, which Time magazine described as “partly social criticism liberally laced with cyanide, partly a Charles Addams kind of jolly ghoulishness, and partly a personal and highly disturbing hostility toward all the world.” The comics medium dominated every aspect of that description—Addams as point of origin, the “ghoulishness” of EC horror books, equal parts horror and humor, and, finally, “hostility,” specifically identifying Lenny Bruce, but signifying MAD’s humor in a jugular vein. James Thompson (A People’s History of Comics), Charles Hatfield (California State University, Northridge), and Michael Dooley (Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design) examine the intersection of the comics medium and the sick comedy genre, using the lens of critical genre theories. Did “sick” become an actual label for exhibition/distribution? If not, why not, and what did it say about the comics, the times, and the genre?

Room 300C
As contracts become more stringent in story/character control and as corporations are bought by larger and larger entities, modern comic book creators are constantly looking for ways to build a fanbase while keeping their narrative integrity intact. When a story is close to your heart, how can you ensure the indie and/or self-publishing routes benefit both your creativity and the consumer at the same time? Arthur N. Ebuen (writer/producer/director, Studio 12-7), Justin Giampaoli (writer/editor/critic, Thirteen Minutes), Barbra Dillon (editor-in-chief, Fanbase Press), Dave Law (artist, Art of Dave Law), Jessica Maison (writer/director/publisher, Wicked Tree Press), and Marcus McNeal (editor-in-chief, Odyssey Comics) discuss the many hats you need to wear as an independent creator, how small press is being recognized by the industry as a whole, and what practical tips and strategies new creators need to see their important ideas printed on the page.

Disneyland is just down the road, so let’s take a virtual field trip to explore the parks from a different point of view. There’s something to discover in every land—life on other planets in Galaxy’s Edge, dinosaurs roaming the railroad, and majestic rock formations in Cars Land, just to name a few. There’s also robotics everywhere, from the original audio-animatronics to the advanced Spider-Man that swings across Avengers Campus. Panelists include astrophysicist Lisa Will, geologist Garrett Vice, paleontologist Stuart Sumida (who worked on the Matterhorn animations), and biologist Elizabeth Rega (who consulted on the Hall of Presidents). All are huge Disney fans who can’t wait to geek out and help you experience Disneyland from a whole new angle.

Where's My Ride?—is a cooperative deduction game for 2-7 players. Your friendly rideshare driver is nearby, waiting to pick you up, but the app is going haywire!
