Peanuts

http://comics.com/Peanuts/2001-9-21/

This is a four panel comic in which Snoopy decides to attempt to play basketball, and his ball ends up into flying into the bird nest. I choose this comic because even without dialogue you can still see time, motion, and emotion. The timing in these comics is the same as if the event was unfolding before your eyes. Through motion lines you can see can see the movement of the ball in panel number two. In panel number three you can also see snoopy’s motion in the motion lines. You can covey the character s emotions with their expressions. Snoopy is apprehensive in the first panel and the bird is surprised when the ball hits his nest.

  1. Emotion motion and time all definetly all executed in this comic strip. It would nice to get more in-depth with the analysis of these three concepts. The comic strip was entertaining.

  2. I liked that you chose a comic that was a little more challenging in that there is no dialogue, so it is left up to the readers to interpret for themselves. However, as Joesph said, there could have been more analysis, and maybe a brief description of what you thought was going on (there is somewhat of that, but there needs to be more). Overall, its good, and edgy and personal because it can be interpreted many different ways. :)

  3. I have always been a fan of snoopy comics and I think you picked a great one. You really touched on the motion and emotion but maybe you could have talked more on the timing. Your analysis was short and to the point, great job.

  4. This is such a cute comic! Great job on the analysis. I wish you would have gone more in depth into the emotions of the two characters. Even though it may not seem like a lot, I'm sure a lot can be pulled from each character. Great choice though! I really enjoyed it!

  5. Nice breakdown. Only thing you might add is the motion that occurs in between the panels.
