Having read the comic strip and analysed it, I have both criticisms and compliments and I think it would only be expected and beneficial to the group if I start with the compliments. The comic strip, when looking at it at a glance, its colourful, it’s grabbing and catchy. This means that the group has achieved its primary focus. Secondly the pictures are clearly taken; they are relevant and correlate with their story line. There is useful use props and additional aids to help with the plot. However, I do feel the story line is somewhat unclear, I am not quite sure what the group was trying achieve. But in all fairness the comic strip is an attractive one. Siviwe Gwarube
A very entertaining comic strip! It was nice to see some effort put into one of the comics- and it was actually funny which was also a nice surprise. It was a clever idea to use the Dean of Students, or the D.P system as the villain. In order to overcome this evil, it was also a clever idea that the library was chosen as the magical agent which aids the hero pirates in overcoming this evil. There was also a clear set narrative structure which applies to the formula from equilibrium to new equilibrium. A well structured and entertaining comic.
Even though I found it a tad difficult to read your comic strip, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it!I believe that you guys have achieved what most of the first-years were trying to, that is to move away from a typical love story and make our comic strip as humorous as possible. With that, you guys have managed to incorporate Proppian characteristics with the DP as the villain and using magical agents to aid you to restore the state of equilibrium. On the other hand, I feel that this comic strip was a bit too animated. What I mean by that is that it lacked some reality. Other than that, I really enjoyed the way to guys managed to integrate what was required of us as well as what you wanted the public to see.
Pretty decent comic, I have to say. The concept is pretty funny, even though I was expecting to see something Pirates-related somewhere along the line. Also, kudos for some sweet puns. The photography was also clear and uncluttered, while the dialogue was nice and concise. I do have two little bits of constructive criticism, though: firstly, the photos, however good they are, just don't gel that well together. It probably isn't your fault, however. Secondly, I didn't think the plot was solid enough, and the disruption (obligatory reference to Todorov goes here) came a bit late and a bit out of the blue. Maybe it's because of the sometimes-uncohesive photos?
I liked it anyhow, and I'm happy to say that this was genuinely funny, unlike a lot of stuff. So, sweet, well done!
Fun stuff! i loved your comic strip! the pirate theme was great, it maintains interest throughout the strip. i can definately relate to the storyline, we are all on a treasure hunt, battling to get that wonderous degree! i say amen to your comic and i hope my life comic takes the same course!
I found your concept to be very interesting and unique. The design is eye-catching and bright which is imperative when designing a successful comic. It is obvious that a lot of effort was put into the planning of location and costumes and the fact that you did not stick to one place makes your comic strip fresh and exciting. I felt personally that the plot was lacking an actual point, not to say at all that it is a pointless exercise but rather that it seemed to be a fun comic rather than an informative one. I truly enjoyed the way in which your group got so involved in the entertaining aspect of the comic and I believe your comic to be a unique and fruitful achievement.
