Week 14

This week I read the Perry Bible Fellowship, and It was a fun read. I read a lot of webcomics such as owl turd, and it very much radiated the same energy. It required not a lot of thought process, the humor was very clever, and they were really quick reads. It saddens me to say this, but in our society of ever-shortening attention spans, people just don’t have the patience anymore to read epic comics like Bones, Marvel, and Manga. People want their entertainment instantly, and if they have to read something lengthy, and they aren’t immediately laughing then they are very quick to pass it by. It sucks that that is the reason they have a place, but for the sake of webcomics, I only see them increasing in popularity. However, even though I presented a big negative, it's not all bad. What's kind of fun about this style of comics is that anyone can make them, so you do not have to be the best artist. And sometimes, the shittier the drawing the funnier it is. So now, as long as you have a fun clever sense of humor anyone can be a comic artist. Regarding the optimization of the storytelling, this is another time where only comics can bring it out to the fullest. That is because the jokes told in these are equally verbal and visual. Of course film could also do this, however, in terms of efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, comics have it beat by a long shot. I’d like to end this blogpost by thanking my readers and urging them to read more comics because some stories can really only be told through this classic art form.
