Lit of Comics Week #4

Gabrielle Zuniga

Scrooge has cartoon characters, but the landscapes mainly operate in logical and realistic perspective. The drawing style is more “cartoony” but it operates using realistic perspective. We believe that these statues are towering over the characters because the scene looks convincing.

Tintin has cartoon characters, which are more abstract looking than their backgrounds. This looks convincing, as the backgrounds look similar to what we see in real life, as far as perspective goes.

Both of these cartoons have charming characters, will light-hearted but still exciting stories. We are aware that these are cartoons, but the characters and backgrounds aren’t so abstract that we can’t let ourselves get lost in the story or put ourselves in it. These stories are without gore, or graphic violence, and pretty much every problem has a neat, bow-tied resolution.  I can see why they were so popular.
