The first panel shows snoopy atop his dog house. Following the stoic nature of his character he remains still with his back straight and his gaze forward while the girl seems to cringe at his story. Her frown and scrunched up eyebrows seems to lead her to snobbishly announce to snoopy that she refuses to waste money on such a thing. Snoopy remains stoic, and completely unaffected by the rude comment. The girl turns around and with a pompous air about her ends her critique with, "however if you get some free author's copies, I'd be glad to have one." Her demeanor suggests that she is trying to con him into giving her a free copy, and her harsh critique was simply a ruse. As she walks away, and the dog house becomes no longer visible Schulz sketches in some motion lines to indicate snoopy's throwing of his typewriter at the little girl's head.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteI just want to mention how impressed I am that you were the first to submit you blog post for this week! Even though you did a really good job analyzing your comic I felt that you could have organized you post a little better. Otherwise great job and nice use of specific examples.
You did a great job with your post. I am really impressed with the language you used during your analysis of the comic strip. Your vocabulary is definitely something to praise. There is one problem I did have with your post though, you should have focused a little bit more on the emotions of the characters. Other than this, you did a great job. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYou wrote your post very clearly, and used great wording. You covered the topics of motion and emotion, but I did not really see any information on time in your post. Also, awesome job citing your post, many forget to!
