Directed by Road to Perdition writer Max Allan Collins, Caveman examines the career of V. T. Hamlin and the creation of his long-running comic strip Alley Oop. First appearing in 1932, the strip follows the prehistoric character Alley Oop, his pet dinosaur Dinny, and the citizens of the kingdom of Moo. Featuring interviews with Will Eisner and longtime Hamlin assistant Dave Graue, the film provides a wonderful depiction of the process of producing comic strips in the 20th century. Along with the graphic novel Road to Perdition, Collins has written numerous novels and comic strips, including a 15-year run on Dick Tracy. (53 mins., video) Cosponsored by Ohio State’s Cartoon Research Library in conjunction with the 2007 Festival of Cartoon Art being held October 26–27 in Columbus.

See more than 300 artworks by "inveterate jokester" William Wegman. This nationally touring show, a comprehensive 40-year retrospective of Wegman's wryly funny work, showcases his photography, painting, collage, and video from the 1960s to the present, including his famous Weimaraner dog photographs. Together, these pieces offer "a total immersion in the fruits of his inquiring mind and sardonic eye," wrote the New York Times. "Dogs or no dogs, Mr. Wegman is one of the most important artists to emerge from the heady experiments of the 1970s."
