Contemporary Comics | How American Comic Art Stays Relevant in 2020
The global sensation Alec Monopoly entertains his audience with his brightly colored embodiments of the wealthy one percent in his graffiti-styled art. Represented by the ‘Monopoly Gang,’ embodying the wealthy elite, epitomize the lifestyle of the rich and famous. As detached from our own world as they may be, these characters still remain relatable as they are the ones that we grew up watching on television and read about in our comic strips. Richie Rich, the world’s richest kid, Scrooge McDuck, a duck that enjoys swimming in his fortune, and everyone’s favorite family, The Simpsons, are some of Monopoly’s favorite characters to illustrate the story of luxury living.
