Dear Students,

I was a kid growing up in a troubled household. We didn’t have books in the house but we did have the daily paper and I remember picking out Family Circus before I could really read.

There was something about the life on the other side of that circle that looked pretty good.  For kids like me there was a map and a compass hidden in Family Circus. The parents in that comic strip really loved their children. Their home was stable. It put that image in my head and I kept it. I’d always heard that great art will cause people to burst into tears but the only time it ever happened to me was when I was introduced to Bil Keane’s son, Jeff.  As soon as I shook his hand I just started bawling my face off because I realized  I had climbed through the circle.

And how I did it was by making pictures and writing stories. To me the Family Circus has always been my wished for family. My soul family in the image world.

That’s why if you say a word against Family Circus to me if I’ve had a few drinks I will slug you so hard.

You have heard me talk about the importance of comics for kids, and the kind of unexpected and sometimes lifesaving difference they can make--- for me it was the comic “Family Circus”. 

I’ve seen that world through my side of the circle for over 50 years. This weekend at the 71st annual National Cartoonist’s Society Conference, I found out that Jeff Keane inked me into life INSIDE that circle.

SEE ABOVE!!!

COMICS ARE MIRACULOUS!!! They are  IMMUNE SYSTEMS! They are TRANSPORT SYSTEMS!!!  They are TIME TRAVELING DEVICES!!

Jeff asked a friend of mine why I was so in love with Family Circus.

He said,“It’s not a ‘cool’ comic strip.

Dearest Jeffy K,

Know this: Love is ALWAYS cool.

XOX

Cousin Lynda B.

Lynda Barry in Family Circus

This is so great: Jeff Keane drew Lynda Barry into a Family Circus strip: 

I’d always heard that great art will cause people to burst into tears but the only time it ever happened to me was when I was introduced to Bil Keane’s son, Jeff.  As soon as I shook his hand I just started bawling my face off because I realized  I had climbed through the circle.

The 20 Spot / Family Circus Comic Strip

I love this. American cartoonist Lynda Barry has just been immortalized in The Family Circus by cartoonist Jeff Keane (aka Jeffy), who took over the strip created by his father Bil Keane (love seeing their signatures together). I would have assumed Lynda Barry would hate a comic like this, and Jeff Keane even asked her friend why she liked it so much, saying “It’s not a ‘cool’ comic strip”. Lynda posted this reply on her blog:

“Dearest Jeffy K,

Know this: Love is ALWAYS cool.

XOX

The other night at the Reuben Awards, cartoonist Lynda Barry was presented with the Milton Caniff award for her lifetime achievement because, after all, she is funk queen of the universe. But at the NCS annual meeting where she got the award, she also met a hero of her own, Jeff Keane, the artist on Family Circus and son of the original creator, Bil Keane. Barry explains what happened on her…

“Estou no quarto ano da faculdade, inserida há quatro anos no sistema acadêmico, e desde então, algo sempre me incomodou que não conseguia exprimir, mas pude aos poucos juntar alguns pontos nesse trajeto. Certa vez, um colega homem apresentou um trabalho que se constituía em três negativos de fotos de sua ex-namorada em caixas de luz que se intitulava o fantasma dela – pensei comigo que se apresentasse o mesmo trabalho não teria as mesmas reações poéticas que ele teve, mas uma reação de que seria uma sentimentalização banal, da mulher que não esqueceu um amor, ou que é obcecada. Levantei dados sobre as últimas exposições anuais dos alunos da faculdade, e os artistas selecionados foram em média 2/3 mulheres e 1/3 homens, o que seria positivo se as salas não fossem compostas majoritariamente por mulheres, minha sala atualmente é composta por 20 mulheres e um homem, a sala do semestre anterior são só mulheres. E então, notei que o único homem da minha sala é também o único que é representado por uma galeria. Percebi pelas aulas de história da arte que a mulher só podia ter um papel na arte: de musa. As mulheres que tentaram entrar no sistema da arte, foram usadas por seus mestres, abusadas por seus companheiros e internadas pela sociedade – penso nesse momento em nomes como Artemisia Gentileschi, Margaret Keane e Camille Claudel. Nomes esses que tenho acesso, penso então em outros recortes sociais que foram excluídos não só da participação do mundo e todos os seus registros, mas que tiveram sua existência negada e apagada, como: negras, índias, lésbicas, bissexuais, trangêneros e toda e qualquer carcterística que fuja do padrão privilegiado homem, cisgênero, branco, hétero e de classe econômica alta. A Academia, apesar de aceitar a mulher – depois de certo tempo - não a deixava participar de todas as disciplinas do curso de belas artes, impossibilitando que a mulher artista pudesse se formar.

Pesquisei sobre o museu National Museum of Woman in the Arts (Washington, EUA) e me questionei sobre espaços exclusivos para mulheres, pensei na relevância de finalmente sermos majoritárias num espaço, mas me questiono se essa é a única forma de conseguirmos tal conquista. Termos nosso próprio espaço seria aprovarmos que não cabemos no espaço “oficial”, deles? Recentemente li uma pesquisa de uma estudante da Universidade de Brooklyn, e ela analisava trabalhos de Hannah Wilke, Lynda Benglis e Cindy Sherman e o tempo todo desenvolvia sua tese chamando esse período de Arte Feminista, e isso não se juntava ao que estudei, sempre aprendi como o feminismo influencia a arte contemporânea e vice-versa, e foi aí que me questionei: A história da mulher é sempre paralela? A ciência, a filosofia, a história, a literatura como conhecemos hoje foram feitas por homens. Aonde estão as mulheres e suas versões da história, da arte, do mundo?

Eu não quero mais falar de passado, mas nunca vou esquecê-lo, até por que ele me atinge hoje. Usando a frase de Valie Export “The future of women will be the history of woman” pretendo aqui escrever uma das histórias da arte do futuro. ”
