There are some minor details that I think could be altered or added. Panel #1 could also be seen as fast because the panel is small and slightly stretched. It is also supported, as mentioned, by the fact that the lines show Karen and Deeze moving fast. Again, this can also be seen in panel #4 and #5, where both panels are small, making time go much slower than the rest of the panels. This is also supported by the moment-to-moment transition between panel #4 and #5. I would also add that panel #1 basic lines show the fast time, not worry.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you color coded you different parts, makes it a whole lot easier!! A little thing I see different from you is in Panel #1 I see it more of a fast and worried, they are trying to hurry but they seem a little scared. But you really did a great job!!
ReplyDeleteOver all good! I would elaborate on the interpretations a little more to establish a more in depth analysis. For example, I just noticed in panel 3 “dick” and “pussy” is shadowed onto the wall, think about how that ties into the frame ,what affect it’s supposed to give to the reader, and how it is done with the McCloud terms. For a start, I interpret it as an ehco of societies queer stereotypes almost as voices she hears in the back of her mind, it’s interesting how camouflage the words are, as if she was aiming for only our subconscious to recognize it.
ReplyDeleteYou are on the right track! Organization is great and your interpretations are a good start to your overall thesis. It looks to me that you are trying to argue that the overall feeling here is unsettling yet free from panic or chaos. Maybe dive a little deeper into what that means for this particular page of the book. I think that would really help to make your thesis strong and really stand out. Great job though! I'm excited to see what you come up with!
