Understanding comics response

Why do we translate a circle with two dots and a line inside of it as a face? Its because as human beings we recognize details that stand out around us, especially our own. It doesn't take much to create a smiley face. As a matter of fact, it doesn't take much to create any cartoon character. In comics, cartoons are simplified and consist of simple silhouettes in order to be recognized by the audience. Charlie Brown and Snoopy are two comic book characters that are easy to notice simply because of the extraction of sophisticated details from their realistic counterparts. Charlie Brown is a child yet he only consists of a circle, a squiggle of hair, dots, and lines on his face. Snoopy follows a similar concept even though he is a portrayal of a dog. in the book Understanding Comics, it quotes that "when we abstract an image through cartooning were not so much eliminating details as we are focusing on specific details”.  For comic book artists and cartoonists alike, there is no statement more potent than "less is more".

European comics

I started off this weeks reading with Mobius Stories from Heavy Metal. This comic allowed European artists to showcase their talent in western cultural comics. Mobius Stories from Heavy Metal comprised of multiple stories. The comic opened up with a story titled Arzak which caught me by surprise with the bright saturated colors. Another aspect about this story was that is was wordless. Wordless comics are becoming one of my favorites to read because of how it relies more on the illustration and the placement of the subject matter to explain the narrative. The same thing also happens in the movie the Triplets of Belleville. There isn’t much talking in the film, however, I could tell exactly what was going on. This is a French made movie that depicts the story of a young man who works extremely hard to pursue the life of bicycling and competing. He works so hard that he becomes lean and bony to the point where he almost looks like a stick figure. His legs are long and skinny similar to h...

Killing Joke assessment

What is your reaction to the text you just read? This was a deeper and darker take on the Batman series. This story surprised me with twists and turns around every corner, especially the interrogation scene with Batman and the Joker and how Batman found out that the Joker in the room was a fake. This story dosnt waste any time to take action and get serious. The moment detective Gordons daughter was shot I was shocked but not as shocked when Gordon was dragged to a carnival and stripped naked by the Jokers henchmen. Even though this comic was dark, I found it quite humorous at times. Especially the ending where the Joker made Batman laugh. I thought that was a perfect way to end the story. This comic felt like it was in the realm of dark humor. What connection did you make with the story, discuss the elements of the work with which you were able to connect? To be honest, I was laughing at pretty much every momment of this comic, even though it was dark. I fou...

Response to The Arrival By Shaun Tan

An illustration holds the ability to tell a story without words. Shaun Tan is able to depict a narrative without dialogue in his book “The Arrival”, and uses subtle clues in his story to inform the reader about the events. At first glance, my first notion of the story was that a man was in a dream. My reasonings behind this idea was because of the odd and random images. These images included giant tentacles swarming a city, funny shaped animals and other-worldly architectural designs. However, the further I looked into this book, the more pieces I was able to put together about the possible main idea behind the illustrated story. At first glance, I thought the main character was in a dream. However, it all added up to him being an immigrant in another country. If I were to only look at one of these images without the knowledge of the previous ones I wouldn’t have been able to come up with the answer that this was an immigration story. From the beginning, there is an image of a boat wit...
