Abstract

This paper examines certain aspects of the relationship between
drawing and the representation of actions, studying daily strips.
We are particularly concerned with the complementarity between
stylistic lines of caricature and the question of understanding the
potential animation of its plastic presentation. Analyzed from the
sense of change and expressiveness of his motives, the physiognomic
representation in caricature accomplishes preparatory functions for
the systems of narrative meaning in sequential art. In this perspective,
the morphology of the characters of the graphic humor would be
better explained if their comic grace is considered as part of the
general problem of an “incomplete” or “expressive” style of caricature.
