After all, I did not want to fall into a rut. The first iteration of the class had been entitled </span><a href="https://eyegiene.sdsu.edu/2020/fall/viruseye/home.html" style="font-family: "Roboto Condensed";">The Virus Eye/I </a><span style="font-family: "Roboto Condensed";">and had debuted to around 150 students in the fall of 2020. The next iteration of the class, also to some 140 plus students was a little out there--it was called </span><a href="Sex, Drugs, & Rock'n'Roll in the Age of the Televisual" style="font-family: "Roboto Condensed";">Psychedelic Mirrors: Sex, Drugs, and Rocknroll in the Age of the Televisual</a><span style="font-family: "Roboto Condensed";">. Now I had gotten word, Fall 2022, that the class registrations had been growing and that I would be teaching 270 students in the class--I had to redouble my efforts and hit it out of the park and I had to do so in way that was true to the mission of the class, part of a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, “Building a Comics and Social Justice Curriculum,” co-directed by Elizabeth Pollard and Pamela Jackson, both of whom also lead our university’s Center for Comics Studies.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;">I called this third try "<a href="https://eyegiene.sdsu.edu/2022/fall/eyegasm22.html">I/Eyegasm 21st Century Comics, Photography, Cinema, and Cultural Studies</a>."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;">And though the focus of the course was going to be keyed to social justice issues: racism, discrimination, systemic violence and the like, I did not stress this in the course description, nor did I heavy-hand it to them in the opening days of the class. This was the premise of the class according to the syllabus:</span></p><p></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;">Buckle your seatbelts and order up some eye-protection -- this is NOT your grandfather's "Comics and History" class! Our Fall 2022 experimental comix extravaganza will emerge out of the twisted corridors of something called I/Eyegasm as we explore the deliciously and outrageously twisted psyches, minds, and visions of outrageous women and men in some of the most exotic and eye-opening comix, film, sequential art, photography, and cultural analysis this side of the planet. Our focus (pardon the pun) will be both the "I" and the "Eye"-"I," the name we give to our complex consciousness and "Eye," the name of the organ that dominates us in the digital age. Between Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and more, our eyes have never been more saturated, never more filled with stimulus. ¶Our class will both study and (even possibly) reinforce our shared 21st century electro existential experiences where the mesh of our minds with computer screens, smartphones, and television screens comes to saturate our consciousness. The books and movies and pictures and videos we will experience this term will open our eyes to brave new worlds. But these works are not without their tricks, not without their surprises, and the fractured souls they flaunt before our eyes will test our intellect, imagination, and, most deeply, our emotions--they may even tattoo our psyche! Works to include artist/authors like Art Spiegelman, Gilbert Hernandez, Emil Ferris, Robert Crumb, Marjane Satrapi and more. Open to all majors and minors with no prior expertise with comics or literature anticipated or expected.</span></p><p></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;">But the class featured writers who were transgender, Jewish American, Mexican American etc and it was through the diversity of representative artists--including Robert Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, and Emil Ferris--that I was able to gently inculcate the arcane and troubling histories of social justice and attacks on justice that are part of our legacies as Americans, as denizens of this planet My great colleague, Dr. Gregory Daddis, has written of his class for this same NEH/SDSU initiative something that also guided me in my course-crafting; <a href="https://comics-blog.sdsu.edu/assessing-social-justice-in-cold-war-comics/">Daddis writes</a> about "how comics, as cultural products, influenced Americans’ understanding of social justice issues helped shape the fundamental objectives that I hoped my students and I would achieve by course end." They did for me as well--but as I have taught large lecture classes for 30 years here at SDSU, and to largely non-English major, General-Education-unit-seeking undergraduates, I had learned that you have to let the works do the major lifting when it comes to issues of Social Justice -- telling them they had to be thoughtful never works, showing them the benefits of thoughtfulness and empathy always works.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;">For instance, the class opened with FREUD FOR BEGINNERS by Oscar Zarate and Richard Appignanesi--the titillating enchantments of Freud were used as a kind of sleight of hand to lure students for whom comics are new and alienating into the web of our efforts; here's a snapshot from my actual day to day course calendar:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4V7zMqrH4Gb3vR8coZOacB6gPNqpikcP-4ZneMnQDCuw45jID8RMOMoOzTpVXA0zFcjBM43ZjoKlv5BY2fCB5Cr3tJzD_o7V3itMJZ0iz_KJCxSczE8hgvQYf35HER9uGh8llq7b7CNqwA0gLgx2J1PpDCDg6p82wDoR1eZEhPdyyLBjyGl8ogHHK8Q/s2644/Screen%20Shot%202023-01-12%20at%201.52.35%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2644" data-original-width="1188" height="1289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4V7zMqrH4Gb3vR8coZOacB6gPNqpikcP-4ZneMnQDCuw45jID8RMOMoOzTpVXA0zFcjBM43ZjoKlv5BY2fCB5Cr3tJzD_o7V3itMJZ0iz_KJCxSczE8hgvQYf35HER9uGh8llq7b7CNqwA0gLgx2J1PpDCDg6p82wDoR1eZEhPdyyLBjyGl8ogHHK8Q/w580-h1289/Screen%20Shot%202023-01-12%20at%201.52.35%20PM.png" width="580" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Roboto Condensed;">I also wanted the students to start thinking about themselves and their own relationship to visual representation, so I had them do an assignment in class where they did their own self portraits.

Who needed marijuana or peyote in South Texas, when Krofft-fare filled the airwaves (this one ghost-penned by David “Trouble with Tribbles” Gerrold, Ben Bova, Theodore Sturgeon, Larry Niven, and Norman Spinrad)? </b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsAgOIxTYw0HvpzymP3BvfCb35tOkQMbgy-WqqF-cXrPpIXiNlPlS3_A4lrJWDM7WhdcqQ-bDQSyftxkyDGwKlpwfP0dV89890ISs50cKVzNpBnmIoPpQdJfng_L9QJKmrs0qCXfoBplZB/s960/td1pl7qn53121.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="960" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsAgOIxTYw0HvpzymP3BvfCb35tOkQMbgy-WqqF-cXrPpIXiNlPlS3_A4lrJWDM7WhdcqQ-bDQSyftxkyDGwKlpwfP0dV89890ISs50cKVzNpBnmIoPpQdJfng_L9QJKmrs0qCXfoBplZB/w500-h376/td1pl7qn53121.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><p></p><p><b style="font-family: "roboto condensed"; font-size: large;">The premise of the show was genius. Trapped in another world, the Marshall family must learn the secrets of this bizarre space; think Stranger in a Strange Land, but with YA-savvy. Time and again the bizarre family unit, sans Mom (who would ruin all the fun?), would be thrust into impossible situations: flying pylons in the sky spouting semaphores, hairy man boys aping Caliban (Cha-Ka with Holly) with Rick left to play a tepid Prospero. </b></p><p><b style="font-family: "roboto condensed"; font-size: large;">No doubt my urgent hetero pinings fueled the uncanny draw the show had for me, but I think many in my generation were equally touched by this ambitious show that somehow (especially the first season) found a way to transcend all the Saturday morning rancid schlock it was up against. </b></p><p><b style="font-family: "roboto condensed"; font-size: large;">No, this was not Ibsen for minors, but like <i>Star Wars</i> and <i>Close Encounters of the Third Kind,</i> it found a way to convey notions of the cosmic to kids who had no idea they were waiting for Godot, with groovy stop-action dinosaurs and sets that look like castoffs from Star Trek. Ah, to be 13 again. But in a way, I never left. Unlike lucky Rick, kicked off the show and replaced by his brother, I am somehow still there. </b></p>William A.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 20pt;"><b>El Kung Fu, in <i>Death Race 2000</i>, is a bit of a disappointment.

Addicted to mindless television, prone to empty distractions on the boob tube, and equally empty violence and titillation, the television audiences parodied in Death Race 2000 hold up a mirror and the monster we see reflected is not the hideous prosthetics Carradine, our “Kung Fu,” uses on the screen, but ourselves, now, pandemic paralyzed, watching in horror as a demented old madman drives our school bus over the edge.<o:p></o:p></b></span><br />

Here is a ZOOM version of a class on Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. My lecture notes, with key quotes appear below the video. This is from a class on American Literature (Film, Photography, Graphic Narrative, etc) after the Civil War and to the present called Seductive American Nightmares-- you can sample the online guide to the class <a href="https://eyegiene.sdsu.edu/2020/spring/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></b><br />

this in 1985, or has not dreamed it up yet). </span></div>
