Air Pirates

So... I have to say I was kind of uncomfortable reading Mickey mouse with a sexual nature to it.I can see how Disney takes their copyright seriously as their company takes their image very seriously. I know from experience because I used to work at Walt Disney World and you would get fired right away.
I dont think these comics were written to challenge the norm of the comic book industry in a mindful way. there is power in sexuality, but i think this for slapping Disney's family values in his face. If Im honest I dont even find humor in this comic because i dont think it makes sense and it might be intentional it just feels sloppy in execution. It was probably distributed as a parody of Disney but it feel detrimental to genre of parody.

Maybe i dont want to admit I'm bias because i did state in this same post that I worked for Disney but I've seen other parodies of Disney from SNL and online that I found funny. but the humor for this seems detached almost as it seems that the comedy was little to no importance compared to drawing mickey mouse performing oral sex on minnie mouse and distributing it to audiences.  so i dont know how to justify this as a parody in my mind that has grown up around Disney and its child friendliness.

often if there is a satire and parody of any subject that there is an underlying message and this series just seems to lack that.Maybe it is a victory that the creator didn't go to jail for the use of Mickey mouse but it still seems like a failure in comic's execution of the genre.

Ranma 1/2

I read Ranma 1/2 for the week of Japanese comics in our class. I chose this book for the nostalgia I had for it. I read this book at around 12 which probably isn't appropriate to read at that age considering the nudity. But regardless of that i really enjoyed the concept of the series and brought me into reading comics, and for a while i only read manga because it was easier to follow Japanese comics as you only have to keep up with one title rather than research online to find what next issue I have to read to continue a story arc I was invested in. I think for this reason that manga and anime have gained more popularity in the West. Ranma 1/2 incorporates a lot of  Japanese culture and references to mythology. Which got me invested in Japanese as a whole because i had to research a lot of the concepts presented in the manga. The characters are also really entertaining but with little character development. the drawings are really well done and though Rumiko Takahashi has a very...

Little Nemo,Krazy Kat,Peanuts

I really enjoyed reading Little Nemo, I had known about it from the animated movie that sat on the shelves at blockbuster but never picked up. and to be honest, I'm glad my first interaction with the series was through the comic and not the film because itself is so innovative it wasn't captured by the animated film. I think its so interesting how its basically made for weekly comics, as Winsor McCay writes and draws a whole adventure that starts with nemo sleeping and ends with Nemo Waking up usually fallen out of bed. but what makes Little nemo iconic is  the panels in between the first and last panels. it seems that McCay understands maybe even personally how dreams work, because the panels seem to transition in a way like an actually which is captivating. I would have loved to have been a child when this comic came out. In Peanuts I've always read peanuts in the news paper but from reading the original Peanuts I can see that the format has change. now peanuts might ha...

Contract with God

Well normally I dont read comics or watch media that talk about God unless if its a biblical story. I dont know why but it feels out of place for me to be reading a fictional story about God, or that I'm reading someone else's opinion about belief. which usually doesn't sit well with me as I am raised with a catholic background, strict on using the Lord's name in vain. which is a separate subject on its own but I wanted to write this as a way to say I was bias when I was about to read this comic. But I think this story is good as the contract is a hubris to the main character who thinks God owes him for his hardships and past actions. and a contract means that both parties have to be on equal standing or terms. The story starts with Frimehleh , a Russian Jew who was told growing up that god will reward him for his deeds. but as the attacks on his village kept coming and then the village elders were going to send him to America. the small tablet Frimehleh uses to mak...
