Enjoying these & on a matter of interest I remember reading (eons ago) a Disney Comic with I think Donald Duck & the nephews taking a trip around a City of the Future housed under a glass dome ~ sky scrapers / mono rails / climate control etc etc

A real visionary bit of work & well before Florida Disney & Epcot - I would guess timescale around late 50's early 60's - would love to see bits of it again if anyone can dig up some links

A very strange comic with a very graphic style (and content).

This is kind-of related.

I saw a comic strip a number of years ago representing the different perceptions of an architect.

It was six panels, crudely but effectively drawn, showing how an architect is perceived by: the client, the public, the contractor, the town planner, the quantity surveyor and finally by himself.

Does anyone know where I can find this little gem?

Frenchy Pilou
13-06-2006, 22:47
...this original strip?
Or it was entierely visual? Satiric or not?

BruceWalker
14-06-2006, 00:08
It wasn't a serial - it was just the one-off.

It was English and showed the different perceptions as:

By the client: Architect feet up on table, reading paper, doing nothing.
By the public: A distant figure, wreathed in light and mystery
By the Town Planners: A suave, used car saleman type figure presenting flash, new schemes
By the Contractor: A jumble of elements that looks impossible to build
By the Quantity Surveyor: the architect dancing around, throwing money out of a cornucopia
By himself: A knight in shining armour, forging a way through the darkness. A crusader.

There is an Italian Artist/cartoonist, can't remember his name, did something similar - but in a book - about the growth of a city - which becomes hideous and collapses - the last page has a child building a sandcastle....maybe 1975?
I'll try to find it in my collection somewhere (I think it is called The Architect)
