Literature of Comics and the Graphic Narrative

Robert Crumb_Whiteman://What I read from class time... To say it directly, I was really shocked by the contents. I did hear it could be a very unpleasant reading experiment and have many sexual contents but I did not expect them to happen so suddenly and so frankly. I read this during the class and I read some more, but all of them are quite the same. they are really violent, or really (so suddenly) sexual. I am not really used to those cartoonic drawing styles besides Disney. So I think maybe my unconscious mind was expecting some of more cute stories within those drawing styles. And I am now doomed... I am sure I could never go back before I read this story now. The story was quite shocking, I mean it is a story. It does not put the main character suddenly a bastard or a sudden bitch attack. (I think?) Other stories, I think I saw a weird male character suddenly did sexual harassment to his girlfriend? I don't remember the title, but. This one does not do tha...

Reading I read Little Nemo from the library and to be honest I haven't read the texts a lot. But I took a careful look with the drawings. The cartoon has a very sensible drawing technique and they were even colored. I am not sure but I think I heard that it is colored using by a three-color printing technique and I saw very few of them are slightly off. So maybe I remembered them correctly. The contents are really a fantasy story and I remember the main character is riding a bed and wandering around a mystic world. And then suddenly woke up from the bed.

At least in my culture, it is often counted, like almost the worst ending there could be and many people use it as a funny joke in making stories. However, in old time, when people are not used to those ending, I understand the ending should be a rare, unexpecting, and shocking ending to the readers in the time too. So it was interes...

Understanding Comics://Comics Simply to say what I felt after reading this book was that I want to introduce this comic to my friends if they are interested in comics or even they aren't, still. This book will be a lot of surprise for us in thoughts of comics and understanding the elements of comics. The book starts with the introduction of the concepts on comics and to describe it with words. I was not interested at the first page, to be honest, I just simply thought this will be a boring dictionary or educational comics which have lots of words that do not help at all. And then I was little more interested when he tried to show some more concepts and put a few gags to get our interests(I suppose it was a gag?) What really caught my attention was after that. He told about the fact we read symbolic or iconic simple pictures as the exact things what they describe. 'The fact that your mind is capable of taking a circle, two dots,...
