This is the comic I chose from one of my classmates blogs. This is a very strange comic. Niether my wonderful girlfriend nor I could figure it out. Even with Busch Light by our side. It is halloween so I thought this obscure comic would set the mood but it did the opposite. It only raised questions.
The comic is arranged with Action-to-action transitions. There are no words, only pictures. Some are in color, some are not. The larger panels show much more details than the others, helping the reader follow the story.
The steam from the coffee is represented by a sort of 'fog'. I'm sure in a standard "oldschool" comic this would be represented by lines as Scott Mccloud points out in Chapter 4 of his book, 'Understanding Comics'.
Actually if the panels were cut out and placed in order, I'm sure it would be a pretty good picture.
After the lady pulls the string out of the man's chest the color changes from bright to oblique and dreary.
Happy Halloween!
Spooky!
