In the cartoon drawn by Mark Knight which was published in the Herald Sun, the cartoonist expresses his opinion towards the AFL continuing to allow Ben Cousins to play football and under what conditions. His tone isn’t actually shown in the cartoon yet he expresses his tone by the sarcasm in his drawings, in a way revealing his feelings towards Cousins and the head of the AFL, Andrew Demetriou.…
I really enjoyed reading your post. You have made some great points and displayed the idea in great detail. The Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons is a very good example of using physics within animation. I have always loved watching this cartoon and laughing at it. I also liked how you posted a video about how each ball moves and acts. This was helpful and is a good realistic video that helps one animate a ball.…
A curious person because, obviously, the Invisible Man reflects upon various everyday things and looks at them from a new perspective. An intelligent person because the things he compares the “sweeping eaves” to is not something most people think of on a daily basis. In this quote, the Invisible Man also tells us that he sees a difference between nature and man.…
When reading Sherman Alexie’s essay, “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me”, his words, “a paragraph is a fence that holds words” (1), caught my attention. I thought that the analogy is strange, especially coming from someone so young. My first thought was that the phrase implied the connection to how words and ideas function to support the main point of a paragraph. However, after reading the essay, I understood that the fence could represent the societal divisions that make up his world.…

As a child, Alex enjoyed newspaper comics. He and his sister would trace the comics and add their own captions. Alex Pardee has always been drawn (no pun intended) to “different” art, whether it be old movies like The Dark Crystal and Star Wars, graffiti, skateboard art, or the likes of Strawberry Shortcake. The first twisted comic that captured his interest was The Maxx, created by Sam Keith. Before he found The Maxx, he never took a liking to comic books, thinking they were all superhero nonsense. This dark, untidy comic about the tragic happenings of a teenage girl changed his view of the comic industry as a whole and inspired his own twisted, powerful, unkempt style.…
During new student orientation week, we had Dave Ward talk about two interesting illustrations that were very eye-opening as a new student. The first illustration that he talked about was ping-pong balls. He took the concept of them and talked about full truths, half-truths, and lies. He then used an example of hula-hoops as ways to encircle specific thoughts and how we have to decide what was right from wrong. The hula-hoops also signified a blockage of seeing the big picture. The second illustration was a stained glass analogy. This analogy was where each of our individual majors represented a different color in a stained glass cross. In other words, all of us together combine to make a beautiful masterpiece.…
“Superman broke down the door,” Sherman Alexie’s metaphor just as he broke through adversity. Internal and external expectations are a basis of identity and how we each perceive ourselves. In Alexie’s writing, “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me,” he describes finding his identity through his struggles as he excelled academically obtaining his unique view on the world and facing many stereotypes. As a young boy expected to maintain limited intelligence and accept the standard of ignorance, he was able to surpass limitations while “viewing his world in paragraphs.” While sharing a love of reading with his father he overcame his expected limitations on his reservation. The struggles he endured allowed him to give back to the community he grew with after becoming an adult.…
For my Rhetoric In Practice Project, I decided to write a comic book which brings out the in-depth meaning in stories and thus helps readers or the audience comprehend the stories better. We know that all fairy tales have morals and lessons. But not every reader is able to grasp every moral from them. Some messages might be hidden and difficult to understand unless you read it a couple of time and exclaim, “Ohhhhh”. When I first read the prompt, I had thought about a lot of different genres to convey my message which is that “Appearances can be deceptive” but I felt that I could make something interesting which could catch the attention of the readers. In today’s world, where there are great animated movies, comics have taken a step back from…

Exploring various comic styles, demonstrating the connection between words and imagery and their connection to communication/language. To express his purpose the author exercises four primary rhetorical…

Comic books are loved by children, despite the lack of options they have on the market today. Comics aimed for children should be made about them, so they can relate to the story similar to the method used when writing scripts for TV shows and movies. With the electronics on the market today, comic books have to compete for the spot of entertainment in a child’s eyes.…
