Comic Exercise: Alien Scouts

Meredith — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 03:53:54 +0000

Posting has been slow because I’ve been doing mostly exercises in my classes. Here’s one I thought was funny- we had to create a 1-page comic that started “You’re at home and hear a knock at the door. You open the door to find ?” I did three different versions but I suppose this one flows the best.

Intro to Sequential Art Unit 2

Meredith — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:25:24 +0000

The assignment was to create a comic of a fairy tale or fable, without text, using all six types of closure (see Scott McCloud’s book Understanding Comics for an explanation). This story is from Aesop, and is called, “The Old Man and Death.”

The moral is: “We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.” In other words, be careful what you wish for!
