The comic book

     
     This week I read a selection of mostly Carl Bark's Donald duck, as well as a few stories of from the E.C comics a Crime Suspensestories issue, and a selection of Tin Tin in tibet. The comic book essentially took two paths, in terms of this week's reading. One path was that the same style as the comic strip was extended into a few pages to tell a longer story, but still be as fun, goofy, and overall as brief. The other path was that much longer stories with more serious tones and a significantly larger amount of text was put onto a page. I really enjoyed the simplistic art of Tin Tin combined with the full text and dialog that came with it. It still had some of the fun and exaggerated feeling of comic strips and even some Carl Barks, but had a serious narrative and quirky dialogue.

     The reoccurring situation in Donald Duck, where his nephews  ruin all of Donald's plans or property only go funnier the more I read. The most outrageous one was when Donald volunteers to fly to the moon, but is sabotaged when his 3 nephews weigh down the rocket and they stall on the moon. It was the sort of Comic that would be right at home being animated like Tom and Jerry or Looney Toons.
