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 have two rows of panels at the top of every Sunday comic, but originally it was three panels and it didn't have such a large cast to deliver a punchline or get the point across. In that case I like the original peanut version more.
while Krazy kat is a different comic and is funny in its quick wit dry humor, I dont think it does anything different from other Sunday comics but simplify the jokes for all ages. All I need to do is know that there is a couple that nags at each other, has a daughter and a cat and ends with a punchline.
