A tela "Crying Girl - 1964", pintada como um grande plano de uma vinhetade uma banda desenhada dos anos 50, esta obra apresenta uma loura atraente de olhos claros, pensativa e chorando. O seu glamour americano e a sua expressão triste sugerem uma narrativa em que ela é a heroína que sofre. Mas, independentemente da sua acessibilidade, a imagem parodia levemente a cultura contemporânea, ao mesmo tempo que lhe presta homenagem, esbatendo os limites entre as belas artes e a arte comercial. O recurso aos cartoons está em sintonia com a "reciclagem" de objects trouvés e de objectos domésticos vulgares, típica da Arte Pop dos anos 60 do século passado. Ruscha foi o primeiro a apropriar-se da banda desenhada, sendo depressa seguido por Lichtenstein e Warlol. Lichtenstein compunha os seus quadros com pequenos círculos que reproduziam meticulosamente os pontos do processo Ben Day - uma técnica de impressão. Também Fez escultura e murais. Roy Lichtenstein nasceu em Nova Iorque em 1923 e morreu na mesma cidade em 1997.
