Unlike the “silent” graphic novel I wrote about in my last
post, I made a “gag” sort of silent 4-panel comic. I studied “Understanding
Comics” by Scott McCloud and what grabbed me was the different type of
transitions. This strip uses a “Aspect to Aspect” transition, since it focuses on
different things in a place. McCloud also describes the importance of other aspects in comics such as icons.
Also, creating a wordless comic sort of taught me about how important it is to be clear and to not depend on the safety of text when creating a visual story.
This comic is just great. You perfectly captured the transition and the humor in only 4 panels. These characters are great and feel like they belong in some weird alternate Spongebob Squarepants world.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this, the pacing of the panels is done very well and helps deliver the punchline wonderfully.
