Lichtenstein was especially fascinated by print mass media, such as cartoons and comic books
• Bold lines
• Bright colors (mostly primary colors)
• Dot patterns (like a printer would make)
• Comic book words and speech bubbles

• Lichtenstein borrowed scenes from actual comic books, but he would enlarge them, simplify them and rework them.
• In this case, the painting is over 5-1/2 feet tall by 13 feet long!
• The painting's title, "Whaam!" is a very important part of the design--with its color and lines as part of the explosive action of the scene, it really adds to the impact.

By making paintings look like huge, blown-up comic strips, including those printing style dots and simple colors, Lichtenstein made people think about how images are made and where they come from.
