Week 11

I've read a bit of bone when I was younger and I actually read a bit of the great cow race when I was super young. Like maybe back in middle school I picked it up at the book fair. I was kinda of dumb at the time for not realizing that I was picking up the comic book in the middle of the story. At the time I didn't realize that it was like part 3 or something. Anyway coming back to now was pretty cool I don't think when I was younger I really cared much for it but i think that had to do with me trying to pick up the story like midway thought it. I liked the kinda call back to the Scott McCloud understanding comics book that the character looked really simple and background was pretty well detailed but i do like the contrast of some of the realist looking character to the super cartoony. kinda wacky. maybe I'd come back to this

week 10: manga and the japanese comics tradition

I used to read a lot of manga when I was younger being a dyslexic kid It was kinda to get me to read. so my folks were pretty happy to get me to read at all. Cyborg 009 was the first manga I had ever read. which is weird because of how old it is but I bought all my manga at a half price book store, so they didn't have the hot new naruto mangas. I did read a bit of astro boy it was pretty good im a big fan of the more cartoony classic look of anime. that might just be because of read stuff like cryborg 009 when i was younger

also the movie we watched in class was pretty damn good but man it was pretty heavy to watch that early in the morning

Week 9: a wide world of comics

Week 8 diversity in comics

Kinda glad that I wasn't wasn't there i wouldn't want to her about this kinda junk in the morning but any way. while do a agree with some of the questions that were brought up that Anita Sarkeesian and her now partner in crime Zoe Quien asked the kinda of long term effect that this kinda of stuff has on a community. The way she blows things out of preportion and takes things out of the context to make them seem worse .

I think having more Diversity in media is a great thing but certain games and movies have a audience that there were intended for and damning things for being sexy showing  or showing bit of skin is lame. I like sexy things kill me.

I guess what im taking to say is taking a step back and looking at what your making but having to change your designs or ect just to fit some SJW agenda is lame. If you wanna draw some skimmy dudes or ladies then just go for it.

Week 7: Maus

              way back when I was prolly a freshman in high school. we took a trip the big apple and way back in high school and when walking in the city we walked by a small hole in the wall comic book shop. I have no idea what compelled me to grabbed that book but some how I brought it and I remember then reading non stop. At the time it kinda led me reading, watching a lot of documenterys on world war two and asking my dad a bunch of questions which he is a huge history buff.

any how the talk in class about how important the book was was kinda cool to her about.

week 6: underground comics

It seemed pretty weird reading these kinda of comics. When I was younger I used to read be into a lot of shock humor. going on to sites like 4chan and newgrounds seeing some the dumb dick jokes and dirty humor. So seeing this kinda of thing is weird to think that there were this kinda humor. I think it was really Air Pirates that was kind of like woah, It was pretty good I liked it tho. I'm kinda of curious to read the book about the law suet to the person that wrote it because it seemed like they wanted to take him for all he had.

Week 5: body talk Eisner and Thompson
