The Comic Strip Response

Little Nemo served to be a fantastical delight to read and observe. The use of colors and patterns, the unusual characters and the posturing of them was very interesting. Reading it made me feel a bit younger automatically, which I think it sort of crazy of a thing to happen, as I watch cartoons all the time and don't get that exact relation. The style is very consistant and you know what to expect- except you don't.  It's so whimsicle that you don't even know what to sense exactly, and that's okay. You let the comic take you for a drive and it's all about the experience it creates for you. 

As for the other comics, it was really disheartening to find a lot of offensive blackface, yellowface, and redface. I found myself floating around books uncomfortably and unable to enjoy the content as much as other students. And then whenever I would found something I could appreciate and enjoy? Bam. Here's another terrible character. It hurts because it's true, I was never the intended demographic/audience in mind when these artists made their comics. I'm thankful to be living in a more accepting and inclusive time, though we still have a long way to go, we have made impressive strides since then. I was thankful to see Krazy Kat though, as it gave familiarity. It wasn't perfect itself, but it was neat to see a brother out here and giving people to look up to.
