There seems to be a large disconnect between how fathers and families are portrayed in

comic strips, and the huge change in family gender roles that has occurred in the past
century in America.

Are comic strips an effective measurement of change in culture of the
American family?
What will be an ideal response?


Comic strips are largely consistent in presenting idealized conceptions of family roles in
America, but LaRossa's research does show that they do reflect some degree of change in
culture roles. The imaging of change (or lack of) may be as much a product of the artist's
characterization as being an accurate reflection of change in the larger American society.
