Each frame poses a different time and the one with snoopy’s thought’s or the Lionel’s speech bubble gives more time to the panel it is in. You can see some motion be portrayed by the characters as snoopy is walking in each panel until he stops to read what to do at the crosswalk. There aren’t huge motion lines that represent the action the characters are doing, but you can see their feet moving and the reading can interpret that they are indeed walking and each panel is a new scene to which they are walking towards their destination. Snoopy is the main character with emotion in this comic strip. He is walking towards his destination casually and comes upon a crosswalk. He does as directed and waits, then Lionel tells him he needs to move his feet. In the last panel you can see Snoopy with the embarrassed smile on, kind of like an “I knew that…” smile. The emotion is written in Snoopy’s thought – so the emotion is not mistakable.
Great post, right when I saw your comic I was hoping you would make a comment about Snoopy's smile at the end. I also noticed how 2 of the panels are the exact same picture. This is a great way to illustrate time. It shows that time has moved and Snoopy is still in the same spot and position. Good job, don't forget to cite your work.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Lisa. I really liked the comic strip you chose. I was actually surprised to see a comic that had color because all the ones I happened to click on were black and white. I would also have to agree that the motion in this comic would be of Snoopy walking in each panel. You also made a great point by point out the smirk on his face in the last face which showed embarrassment. This was a great example of emotion. Overall great over view!
