Abstract
This article examines the dynamics of father-son relationships and the problems of intergenerational collaboration in Art Spiegelman's Maus I and II, Seth and John Gallant's Bannock, Beans, and Black Tea: Memories of a Prince Edward Island Childhood during the Depression, and Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth. All three authors are critically acclaimed cartoonists and graphic novelists who use the mixed medium of verbal-visual narratives to tell stories about biological and symbolic fathers. These works reject dominant notions of masculinity and fatherhood through various forms of collaborative auto/biography and intergenerational semi-auto/biography that gravitate towards an aesthetics of smallness. The article concludes that, even as these three projects stage a reconciliation between fathers and sons, past and present, public and private, they nevertheless question the politics and practices of representing self and other in popular graphic form.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
