In the past two decades, Deitch's comics have become increasingly lengthy and elaborate. Formally, his work is notable for great density of visual detail and ambitious narrative structures that veer between fantasy and reality and skip through time. Common themes in Deitch's work are Addiction (specifically Alcoholism ), Deception and Delusion , set against the history of twentieth-century popular entertainment, including the early days of Animation , Cinema , Comics and Television , and the origins of those forms in Vaudeville , Carnivals and the Circus . His best-known character is a mysterious cat named Waldo, who appears variously as a famous cartoon character of the 1930s, as an actual character in the "reality" of the strips, as the demonic reincarnation of Judas Iscariot , and who, occasionally, is claimed to have overcome Deitch and written the comics himself.
