week three

    As of the comics that I read for this week, the Little Nemo stories and Prince Valiant stories are more interesting for me to read compared to the others.

    For the most part, I’m not very used to reading comics that are meant for newspaper strips. A lot of the newspaper strip format comics don’t have a variety of shots and the drawings are very simple. Sometimes the gags are somewhat hard for me to understand. I would find myself staring at a comic strip for longer period of time then most other people.

   I think the reason I like Little Nemo and Prince Valiant better is because they are both in some ways different then most other newspaper comic strips. Little Nemo is elaborately drawn and is full of interesting details of the characters and the environments. It is interesting enough just to simply look at the beautifully drawn pictures. And also, the way Little Nemo woke up is somehow different every time is interesting for me.

    The reason I like Prince Valiant better is not only because this is also drawn with a lot of details. Prince Valiant is more like an illustrated storybook then a newspaper comic strip. There are a lot of descriptions as appose to dialogues, and also a lot of variety in different types of shots.
