Well, it is apparent at first glance that the two characters included in this comic strip segment are Woodstock and Snoopy. At the beginning of the strip, Snoopy is starring of in the distance. The reader, at first, does not know what snoopy is looking at. He stares with that original, well known, blank look on his face. During the next comic page we see Woodstock gliding through the air towards a wired fence. During the third comic page, Snoopy sees this accident waiting to happen. With this foresight, he places his hands of his eyes. Comic strip ends with its climax in the fourth and last comic page. As Snoopy stares at Woodstock with a sad face, a label with Snoopy’s commentary rises above his head. Woodstock sits on top of Snoopy’s doghouse, complacent, listening to Snoopy point out the obvious. Woodstock continues to pull the metal needles from his feet. The time and motion of this comic strip are linear. All inferences are handled directly and straight forward. The emotion of the comic strip is slightly dull, mixed with a little bit of panic and sarcasm.

You did a great job explaining the post, however I would have kept the explanation a little shorter because the reader can see the comic strip. That would have left you more room to talk about the motion, emotion and time. I feel you did not cover motion, emotion and time as much as the assignment asked for. For motion you could have talked about the lines after Woodstock, showing that he is running across the wire. Great job citing your work!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I could be wrong, but I think each box is called a frame or panel, I do not think comic page is the correct wording.
