Week 2


Max Ernst , a week of kindness direction
Panel 1: A magician with a chicken on the street. Could also be a dancer begging for money.
Panel 2: a feathered man, possible an angel looms over a woman’s dead body. He is accompanied by the chicken. The dead body is most likely the figure from panel 1.
Panel 3: It seems as though the woman is about to be buried in her tomb, and her spirit  has left her body nude. He is faced with two animal creatures. On the left, possibly a angelic like chicken, and to her right, something demonic.
Panel 4: the woman is disrobed and laying in anguish on a stone slab. The demonic chicken is folding up her clothes while the angelic chicken is trying to persuade him with something. I don’t know how the smoking magic hat in the background relates to the scenario.
Panel 5: Chicken satan is rejoicing over another fallen woman, who has given into his wiles.
Panel 6: men are overcome by the power of chicken satan.
Panel 7: evil roosters are taking over the city and harassing the women.
Panel 8: women hide from evil roosters

Week 13, the killing joke response

1. What is my reaction to what I just read? So I'm going to admit, I saw the animated adaption of this comic beforehand, and frankly I think it pales in comparison to the comic. Correct me if I'm wrong, they also threw in Barbara having a thing for Batman in the movie too right? Ew, they didn't have to do that, it wasn't even in the comic. No one liked that part! So overall, my ain take away from this comic is that, I inferred some things form the joker that I've never thought of before. This might just be my opinion, but here's what I took from it: When the joker is running away from batman once the robbing heist goes wrong, he tries to escape him in that rinky dinky red costume. When he finally makes the choice to evade batman and jump off the platform into some toxic waste, I feel like that was symbolic of suicide. When the joker came out, his skin was white, and he was more insane than he ever was before. With the build up of loosing his wife and being ...

Week 11

For this week I have read through Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. This graphic novel is unlike any other I have read so far. Mostly because there is such a range in artistic matter, from dynamic panels and "shots", to well drawn houses. All of which were done by the same person. I'd expect this versatility from the average comic book like Spiderman, but they usually have a large team to produce all of the comic book's content. I was amazed at how vulnerable Alsion was able to be when making this novel, and how in depth she was able to tell her story. My main critique for the novel, although its very trivial, is that there was a great deal of reading. I wished there was more visual symbolism throughout the novel. Overall I was very moved by her work of art.

Week ten: manga and comics

My only real experience with Manga was Ouran High School Host Club, I got the manga after I rewatched the series a couple of times. Other than that, I only saw manga from screenshots on tumblr, I never got into reading them. There's many titles that I've meant to read, but I never had the time and they are a little difficult to obtain. I also felt like if I was reading manga in high school people would've labeled me a weeb, and I did feel embarrassed to a point to even want to read manga. Nonetheless I did watch a few different anime shows, the last one I think I watched was "Free!". I did go back and read "Barefoot Gen" after we watched it in class, arguably the manga is much more violent than the movie.
