Daily Comic Panel Slow Read #11
from Loose Ends #1 by Jason Latour, Chris Brunner and Rico Renzi Page 20, panel 2
This exercise was inspired by a tweet I can no longer find (possibly by Tonci Zonjic). The idea was to slow down your reading and just look deeply at one particular panel of a comic for about 15 minutes in order to really study its construction. I thought this would make for an interesting daily exercise for 2017.
- This is the middle of an intense scene in a comic that balances subtle storytelling with stylish, cartoony violence. The sound effects, representing the gunshots and Cheri’s screamed expletives are a unique blend of graffiti and Looney Tunes FX. The words and symbols fit neatly around her flying mess of hair, turning her into a piece of sexy street art that is somewhat separate from the environment around her, as if she is overlaid onto the scene.
- Latour, Brunner and Renzi embrace the artifice of cartooning to accentuate the explosive motion and sounds in a way that drawings can do best. Much like how filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino utilize similar aspects of their medium for exaggerated effect. Brunner figures and their movements get looser and sketchier to play up the action compared to other quieter scenes in the book where he dials back some of that cartoony nature and tightens up the drawings.
- Coloring Cheri and her sound effects a nearly solid shade of red makes her stands out against the background with its complementary green colors and its screened back, sketchier line art, but it also ties her to the other foreground objects, the two arcade machines. While there for explosive effect, the red lighting is also emanating from the arcade area in a way that creates a realistic lighting situation for a dive bar like this.
