“Nemo in Slumberland”
I found “Nemo in Slumberland” to be very strange but also
very interesting. I’m not someone who has read many comics or graphic novels
etc. but this one seemed very different than any of the comics strip style
stories that I have ever seen. I really enjoy how every story starts and ends
with him in bed and you find out he was dreaming so the consistency I think I
enjoy but also enjoy how varied the adventures and dreams are that Nemo goes
on. Also the clowns are all really creepy when they’re used.
“Krazy-Kat”
Now compared to Nemo this was an entirely different type of
comic strip. Stripped down the core basics of some squiggled rough characters
and words this comic I found to actually be pretty funny. I liked how they’re
just short sweet and to the point with a little hook in the third or fourth
box. If you don’t want to read a full narrative or just want a little laugh I
think these are great. Some of the wording is a bit older fashioned I think but
still all the “Krazy-Kat” comics are fairly easy to read and quite entertaining
in my opinion.
“Peanuts”
What’s not to love about “Peanuts” and Charlie Brown and the
whole gang? This to me is one of the most classic comics of all time next to
things like Batman, etc. I loved looking at the 1950s comics to see what the
characters looked like from his first stories and to see how the characters
haved changed and also what remained the same through all the years of “Peanuts”.
Hey Jesse!
ReplyDeleteI have the same feelings and I agree with you for your Week 3 post!
I have to agree with you on Krazy - Kat. I thought it was entertaining and amusing to see a really simple but funny comic. The stories were very situational and episodic and also filled with a lot of cleverly worded jokes. I also liked the pacing and the time that it took to read the comic. I didn't have to use much brain power to thoroughly read and understand the situations that were going on, but the drawings and choice of words were direct and just enough for me to see the story.
Lastly my feelings were mutual with you on Little Nemo and Peanuts. For Little Nemo, I also found it a bit confusing and strange but to a certain extent I "accepted" what was going on and continued to read, vs, something like Peanuts and Krazy Kat. Those comics really motivated me to want to continue to read.
Thanks for this post!
