Ben-Day Dots- 
printing process, named after illustrator and printer Benjamin Henry Day, Jr.,[1] is a technique dating from 1879.[2] Depending on the effect, color and optical illusion needed, small colored dots are closely spaced, widely spaced or overlapping. Magenta dots, for example, are widely spaced to create pink. Pulp comic books of the 1950s and 1960s used Ben-Day dots in the four process colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) to inexpensively create shading and secondary colors such as green, purple, orange and flesh tones.  Ben-day dots are related to Lichtenstein because he used this tech ige in his art a lot.

Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein's work differ from each other.  Both had unique ways of representation of art form. While Lichtenstein’s style was influenced by cartoon images like the one used in “Look Mickey”, Warhol’s focused on celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor and commercial consumption products like Campbell soup and Coco cola.
