             While looking at the Imagery of Max Ernst's work in every image, there is a motif of women and a rooster. The story I interpreted was that of death, fear, and warning. Every image has an image of death; for example, a woman ina coffin or literal skeletons. The pictures are of torture, so I see this as a warning of specific human behaviors and what is to come of the people who could perhaps indulge in such—an ugly look on humanity.

The Killing Joke (2 points )

 1. What is your reaction to the text you just read? I have never read the killing joke before, but I knew it is a classic comic book that many suggest reading. When reading the Killing Joke, I was very intrigued, but I honestly wanted more to conclude the story. Not that the ending was not good, but I wanted to continue reading the story. I love the imagery and how each transition Panels from past to present work very well for the storytelling.  I could learn a lot from the drawings and story choices. 2. What connections did you make with the story? Discuss what elements of the story with which you were able to connect? The transition in pannels from the past to the present was what helped guide the story, in my opinion. Even though every image goes pannel by the panel, the artist connects what is happening using the same body poses between panels in different scenes to show the passage of time or flashbacks.   I felt like a camera in a movie or Storyboards. Same as a tr...

Underground Comics Movement the book, Rebel Visions: The Underground Comix Revolution (5 points)

 I was a bit surprised to read such fun and inviting into telling teen kids that they can read this like an adult, and then the first comic was an allegory for world war II with cats and mice. I did not even see any jokes within the comic, which I am grateful for with this subject matter; however, it was just a little sadder of a star than I thought it would be.  I feel like some adult cartoon comedy shows are today where they say many curse words and profanity, and they call it jokes. They want to see the worst they can get away with it. The comic industry was very tight with its code of conduct, and many comics are for kids. I make sense that many underground comic artists were those exposed o the effects of the war of Vietnam, Martin Luther King Jr, riots, and many other extreme events in the 1960-70s. With being exposed to all of those things and not having much of an outlet, they used comics as personal expression. The comics code authority controlled what too violent and...

week 11 comics as contemporary literature Fun home and My favorite thing is Monsters : ( 12 points )

Read Fun home : ( 6 points )  I finally read Fun Home for the first time. The story reminds me of Maus, but the story is being told by the daughter as posed to the father telling his own story. So we do not know which is exaggerated in second-hand memories.  The descriptions the narrator uses to describe their relationship with their childhood home and family is fascinating. They use many greek myths and stories to describe their relationship with their father, and they describe their home as the labyrinth with how large it is, and their father as the monitor, as children scared to turn the corner of the house, they may run into him.  This perfectionist looks the dad has, focusing on the smallest things. He is almost robotic and hyper-fixated on the house, for it was the only thing he felt he could control. I found the father projecting an image on the house, trying to cover up anything inside and outside the house, interesting. He has a blurry line between reality and fi...
