Week3) Comic scripts

Some people or maybe most of people in the USA have good memory with the comic script or at least the memory playing with the newspaper. The comics comes with the newspaper might increase your interest on the newspaper. However, I personally do not have any memory with the comics or newspaper because my family did not subscribed any of newspaper. The only time seeing newspaper was when my dad brought the newspaper from his workplace. And even if my family subscribed the newspapers, it cannot be that big part of your life compared to people living in the USA because the comic script is not big thing in my country.

It was refreshing and exciting to see really entertaining comics around those period. The characters in the comics they were dreaming, going to the adventured, making unexpected friends, something you could hardly imagine at that time. It would be wonderful to have these media in my country at same period. It still has really basic forms but it works perfectly well. The each stories fit for the daily newspaper sized and it carried pretty well. I could see people waiting the next episodes to see where or what would happen next. Also now I finally can see this would work as my childhood TV shows to children too!

Mainly I was amazed by was Winsor McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland.  The costumes, design, characters and the contents itself are so beautifully done. It was hard to believe that it was published on just newspaper. Also this comic script required to used its own technique to print it out, and many people dedicated on this. This fact blew me out.
