Abstract

en_US
"Here are individual cartoon pages that appeared regularly in "El Heraldo de Mexico" between 1967 and 1973. The Laughing Squid online describes the setting in which Alejandro Jodorowsky, the Chilean filmmaker best known for directing several surreal cult films created a weekly comic strip. "Taking its name from the Panic Movement -- an artistic movement that Jodorowsky co-founded in 1962 -- the strip was entitled "Fabulas Panicas", or Panic Fables. Despite appearing in the right-wing Mexican newspaper, El Heraldo de México, the strip is classic Jodorowsky: wildly experimental and unapologetically transgressive. In this 2003 interview with Jay Babcock, Jodorowsky said: 'Everything I could not do in movies, I make in comics and writing. I do comics because I think it’s an art form as big as movies or painting or poetry. The graphic novel is a fantastic thing for me. For four or five years every Sunday I drew a comics page, a complete story.'" I have sampled several of these offerings. They are one-page admonitions. A master sees a disciple smashing a vase: "There are infinite ways to destroy this vase. There was only one way to make it" (56). Two characters speak, one saying "I accomplish nothing" and the other saying "All that you seek you already have" (58). Photographs of three women have two apparently screaming and a third commenting "In the house where somebody screams, nobody sends" (259). The art is highly mixed, very energetic -- quite typical, I would say, of the late 60's."
