I chose the pizza from outer space as it is unusual, and in the later part of the story, it is important as the creature has to be unusual to strike fear and make the people run away from him. For the first picture, I chose one from the perspective of the pizza and to show the Earth as a tiny planet that can hardly be seen to emphasize on one of my themes: curiosity. Because the planet can hardly be seen as it is partially blocked, I want the reader to experience the feeling of curiosity that the pizza is feeling about Earth. For the second picture, I chose an indoor setting as I want the readers to feel like they are already there and step into the shoes of both the pizza and the person. I chose the picture of the streets to show the theme curiosity. The pizza was so curious that he went to the streets. The last picture is big to give readers some food for thought. I gave some empty space for the reader to think about this incident, and I have to chose a place which seems empty as the pizza would most probably land the plane somewhere no one would see.
Your comic strips are interesting and I agree with your points about curiosity. However, I would like to say something about your last picture. I don't think an 'alien' from outer space would bother trying to hide his plane, if he actually goes about the streets in his pizza 'form'. If he dares to walk around, which in this case is true because he doesn't know much about life on Earth. Therefore, I doubt he'll land his plane in an inconspicuous place. Tan Jing Rong (29) 2A1
ReplyDeleteI feel that your comic strip is interesting in the sense that he portrayed it to be curiosity. I, however, feel that it can also be portrayed as prejudice, because on first sight of the pizza, everybody just ran away. They don't try to communicate with him to understand him better; and running away just like that from a harmless creature shows that, to me, the people think that the pizza is weird and hence close their doors at him.
