Earlier in the year I attended the club fair, where I received a pocket sized subway map that had listings of many museums and theaters in New York. Since that day I really wanted to got to the MOCCA (Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art) and this past wednesday I went with Matt. I have to admit that I was disappointed with my visit because I had higher expectations. The location of the museum seemed to be located in an apartment building, a rather nice apartment building. However, the location was not a problem. However, when I entered the museum I was expecting to see the great Marvel and DC comics, starring super heroes and villains like Batman and Superman. Instead, I walked in on a room full of Archie comics. Archie Comics is one of the oldest and most read comics. I read through many of the comics that were displayed and printed over the years, and was surprised to see how funny some of them were. I also noticed how different the comics have become over the years. In 40s and 50s rock and roll music as well as teen magazines determined the clothes Archie wore. The 60s rolled around and the comics began to incorporate minorities into the stories because of the increase in political and social changes. By the 80s, the comics began to satirize the various trends of the decade like punk rock hair and sunglasses. Ecology proved to be a theme in the 90s as the comics supported recycling programs and other environmentally friendly ideas. It appears that the world of pop culture shaped Archie's destiny over the years. I believe that this applies to all art mediums. The popular trends of the time can affect the outcome or end product of the artist.
