ose clearly favours her father over her mother
usually girls go through this stage (as Freud calls it, the Electra Complex)
-
center of attention
perhaps Windy is the "Queen Bee?"
-
he paragraphs are brief and sometimes written in all caps, often structured like text messages between close friends.
Amazing how text can convey such a powerful relationship
-
nterplay between image and text positions Rose and Windy quite firmly on the other side of an adulthood that still governs the world around them
Being an artist myself, I really appreciated how the illustrations were modeled after what happens in real life, when only snippets of conversations can be hears at a time

Harriet the Spy
OH MY GOODNESS YES. This makes complete sense! Just set in the modern world...brilliant

real stories and real people to their readers
This One Summer definitely relates to the average preteen girl

Blake's question "did he who made the Lamb, make thee" gains a new significance.
-
"form networks of interrelations from panel to panel, panel to page, and page to page and thus participate in a symbolic order governed by laws of substitution and association (metaphor and metonymy)
interesting, literary analysis tools shown in images
-
. Each page is a reflection both of layout and content" (V;
-
order and the terror that comes with this order actually breaks the order of the poem
much like how Rorschach views his actions throughout the book...he tries to keep order that results in terror
-
"fearful symmetry
this keeps reminding of Rorschach
-
reflection, symmetry and difference serves as the archetype for the disconcordant visionary parallax between the two.
-
experimentation with panel and narrative conventions
-
Blake has the imagination
-
religious saints on hovercrafts
that's a sight to see...
-
Workers produce labor, are alienated from that labor through the mediating function of capital, and are then forced to buy the very product of their own labor.
so we cause the society that Moore represents in the book therefore since we caused it, we find entertainment in it, and buy the book?
-
This is because perversion, rebellion and revolution are easily incorporated into global capitalism and sacrifice progressive politics for a trademarked identity
so basically the terrible state of our society allows Moore more of a celebrity status today than Blake
-
mutating its character almost beyond recognition
i.e. Dr. Manhattan
-
Moore turns to Blake in the wake of the elastic marketplace of global capitalism, believing that the poet's dedication to individual vision can help him reestablish a connection to a self underneath the commodified dissemination of his celebrity around the globe.
interesting...so is he saying that Moore is simply focused on the benefits of writing about such a traumatic topic and not on the piece as a whole?

In fact, because of its connection to the image of Jon's accident, the sense of inevitability inherent in Jon's fate is applied to this moment &ndash from the beginning of the book, as the repetitive imagery has shown the audience, this moment, this explosion, has been inevitable
-
story's focus shifts to the impending global threat
also in the last few pages of the novel, the smiley face mirrors the clock that is set at 12 after the octopus attacks NY...almost like the doomsday clock
-
does not, in itself, signify a particularly traumatic moment.
no, but the irony of that being the comedians "last act"
-
"Traumatic events call into question basic human relationships. They breach the attachments of family, friendship, love, and community. They shatter the construction of the self that is formed and sustained in relation to others. They undermine the belief systems that give meaning to human experience"
-
tendency to think about pieces instead of people.
sometimes the victims inability to relate to people after a traumatic event
-
people relive the event as though it were continually recurring in the present
-
two moments condensed and symbolized in one picture
this is almost like a victim of trauma's inability to forget the event
-
no beginning, no ending, no before, no during and no after
Almost like Jon's ability to know the past, present and future simultaneously
-
traumatic experiences do not alter the victims physically to the point that they are no longer members of the human race, they often cause detachment from society
Moore and Gibbons visually represent the detachments from society after a traumatic event fantastically well
-
he is Superman, a radioactive threat, or God
-
dispersed or fragmented narrative voice
Rorschach's journal and voice definitely displays this
-
have a clearer idea of the ways these traumatic experiences can affect people.
I find it interesting how Rorschach is the only one who is seen being given psychiatric help amidst all the trauma he went through, however, all the characters seemed to experience some sort of trauma in their past as well
-
medium provides the message of trauma. The authors utilize imagery to emphasize the theme: Woven together into a complex structure, illustrations of personal traumatic experiences and national traumatic events represent the growing fear, the helplessness, and the isolation that mankind can experience during and after a traumatic event
because we can actually see the trauma, we are effected more emotionally than simply reading it
-
superheroes into a real world setting, making them face "scenarios that mirror the [world's] current political and social problems
offers a sort of relief from reality for readers so they can separate themselves from the atrocities of the world (even now)...we are always looking for a solution to the hatred and violence in the world, so superheroes offer this relief

bear snaps a photo of himself—a comic transcription of Lacan's formulation of "myself seeing myself."
Clever, creative interpretation and execution of Lacan's philosophy
-
"perspectives " on a single event, with the axes of perception being aligned with the three nephews—down on the whirlpool, up under the bridge, and behind the rock at the same time.
Perspective seems to be very important to Ault and after re-reading "Vacation Time" I've noticed the intentional use of it thoughout the comic
-
American comic strips.
I wonder if any of this holds true in other countries comics
-
Lacanian process of "suture," an intersection of the symbolic and the imaginary performed through the act of reading;
Fantastic description
-
imaginary, symbolic, and real
So are these always present throughout comics or do they take "turns" throughout the entirety of the comic? Further discussion
-
The fragmented comic page makes visible what is usually elided in paintings and drawings that use an undivided image to illustrate a verbal text
Mona Lisa is an interesting example for the difference between the comic and painting
-
physically homogeneous
So figures and verbal language are the same on paper essentially?
-
an interruption usually accompanied by anxiety.
Interesting, so the imagination is like a sort of "crutch" and care free version of thinking but the "real" always finds a way to take over...which causes angst

Suspecting a plot, he sets out in search of his beloved.
Horse magically appears and is normal now

Love how we don't see what he's writing but instead take the speaker's word on it

new leaf.
New leaf = new clothes

On reaching home, Mr. Oldbuck finds a favorable letter from his layde-love.
He has an eye patch in the scene thats not explained earlier...blinded by love, perhaps?
-
It soon recovers its flesh.
Dramatic difference shown between the first two frames displaying the healthiness of the horse (overdone but does the job)
-
Being attacked by robbers, he hides himself and his horse behind a tree.
Obviously Mr.Oldbuck won't be successful if the tree is really that thin...
-
Duel between Mr. Oldbuck and his rival.
The hat between the two swords belongs to his "rival"...but why is it there...to show Mr.Oldbuck's defeat of his rival?
-
Mr. Oldbuck wishes to return home, but can't.
Without saying what is preventing Mr. Oldbuck from returning home, the frame simply shows it through illustration--love it
-
In his haste to reach his-ladye-love, he drags the beam after him.
Almost like the subject of a sentence, the scene only shows the beam to emphasize what should be noticed
-
The struggle is real
-
Looking from the window, Mr. Oldbuck espies his ladye-love.
Interesting how she's had her back turned twice now when he spots her
-
Mr. Oldbuck in love.
A fairly accurate representation...but really, few words need to describe what the reader can see and relate to
-
The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck.
I love how the title page's illustrations give an insight as to what is going to be happening throughout the story along with the short text that is given

web-based graphic narrative.
I'm not very familiar with this genre, so actually creating a web-based graphic novel with peers who are familiar with it will allow me to learn a lot from them as well
-
Eisner, Will. A Contract with God. W. W. Norton & Company, 1978. Print.
I'm looking forward to reading this and analyzing how the author depicts the serious plot though illustrations. Also, as a practicing Catholic, I think it will be interesting to analyze this text from a religious perspective as well
-
develop skill in the critical analysis of visual texts and
I am in the secondary education program and am excited to learn more about the critical approaches to the graphic novel medium as well as learning how to analyze the text so that I can incorporate it in future lesson plans
