Understanding Comics

I found this piece of writing very interesting. I've had quite a connection between cartoons and comics and I guess I always image myself as those characters. When first reading this article I never really thought about different types of comics, I just never really thought about it. But when I think back on it their are tons of different types of comics. Ranging from Garfield to Marvel to Manga. I really like the idea for a cartoony detail for the people or characters with a detail background was really awesome looking.

When I first saw the title "Understanding Comics" I instantly thought of Marvel Comics. I believe it to be one of the most famous comic book around. Just the incredible details in the background and into the characters really help me connect to the comic. Plus, with all the masks and secret identities really helps for the viewer to image him or herself as the characters.

Another comic that I thought of when I was reading the article was Garfield. It leans more over the side of Language and up towards the picture. But the comic is pretty simplistic and there's really not detail in the comic strip. But you can still figure out what the characters, objects, and the background are.
