Moon links Darger's work with the burgeoning popular culture of the early twentieth century, in its newspaper comic strips, pulp fiction, illustrated children's books, and mass-produced religious art. Darger's work, Moon argues, \"deserves and rewards comparison with that of contemporaries of his, such as the \"pulp historians\" H. P. Lovecraft and Robert Howard, the Oz chronicler L. Frank Baum, and the newspaper cartoonist Bud Fisher.\""
