In this strip, Rerun is crying because he thinks that everybody is going to leave him home… in a kennel. You can see that the timing that is going on is over the period of minutes. From the panels, we can see that the characters are moving closer and farther away from the crying characters, and then they leave. There are no indicators that there is any motion going on, such as motion lines, but you can see very well that the crying character is swaying while crying, and that the other two characters are making an effort to move closer to him when he gets every upset. The emotion is here is shown by the crying marks that are coming from the crying character’s eyes. This shows that the emotion of the character is an upset emotion. The emotion of the other two characters is shown by the way they look and act around the crying character. They seem to be sincere and look as if they want to help. From the thought bubbles, this is correct.
I thought you picked a really good comic strip. The comic was full of emotion and you touched on every aspect of it. Maybe you could have described in more detail of the other two characters and what their actions are really saying. Overall, I really enjoyed reading your analysis.
ReplyDeleteWell done. You were able to notice each of the factors we talked about ie. time, motion, and emotion. How much time do you think passed in this comic, a matter of minutes or did it pass as quick as you read it?
