WP2: Comic Brief Narrative

The Garfield comics were created by Jim Davis. He post a different on everyday since 1978, and also stared the Garfield and Friends show. The Garfield and Friends show aired on CBS from 1988 to 1995. He grew up with 25 cats so this inspired him for his comics.

The content of this comic is supposed to be a dry since of humor. Garfield has been watched and read by children and adults. It has a since of humor that adults and children can understand. Garfield is always are very sarcastic cat and always get his way. He is also very lazy and eats a lot of fun. John, Garfield's owner is always stressed out and worrying about things. His is also funny though. Garfield and His both pick on each other. They have a love/hate relationship.

The interactions between the characters (which in this comic are John and Garfield) are developed visually through color and the way they are positioned. In the first scene they are both looking at each other but don't look enthused. In the second scene, Garfield has a smirk on his face like his up to something. But when you look at the third scene you know something was said or happened because he looks upset or discussed. Then once you read the text, their facial expression match their words very well. And makes this comic funny. Especially since Garfield get offended very easily

The relationship between the panels flow well together. They are set up a scene so that children can understand as well. The panels are simple but say enough when you look at them to some what understand the comic.

Once you start reading the comic, it all flows together nicely. It makes since to why their facial expressions are the way they are. John's facial expression doesn't really change but Garfield changes in every panel.
