I thought that this comic was really funny and enjoyable. The fact that you guys used the lecturers as the villains was really clever and impressive the way you did it. And the way that all the lecturers were included with a personal aspect of each one was really clever and funny. The humor at the end when journ soc dropped you was very catchy and I enjoyed that. I think that each lecturer’s characteristic in the comic, what was happening to each lecturer, was what brought in the humor. I do think that the comic could have carried on though, because it just stops in the end and maybe if you had a humorous hero or a hero with a comical side would have added well to your comic because in this comic the lecturers win and that should not be the case.

Guys, this is a hilarious comic. I’m not sure though whether in terms of narrative structure your story is good. You must know a chap called Propp who came up with the notion ha a narrative must have characters like a hero, villain, donor, helper and more. Now, I think I can only identify the villains from this story? Who is the hero, the donor and others? Obviously, you have heard about Todorov. Remember he talked about the state of equilibrium? I would probably say equilibrium is before he guys joined Journsoc and it was disrupted by the villains who abused the funds. But there is no restoration of equilibrium. I might say there is a recognition that a disorder has occurred with the realisation that the money paid has been misused. Nevertheless, it’s quite a hilarious comic. But there is a strong absence of key Proppian characters that would make a complete narrative.
This is hilarious. Congratulations on a job well done.
What I found really awesome is the use of our precious Nicky as the master villain, the one who leads the princesses to their demise. Her black outfit, fit the character perfectly because as always it is a colour associated with all things evil. Of course I doubt she had dressed up that way to fit the occasion.
On the question of hero's or donors in the story, I appreciate the fact that you recognised that not all stories have a hero or a donor for that matter, but then again for JMS 1 purposes maybe they (the villains) would have appreciated having all the characters in place. A final thought, next time Rod should be the Hero, he would look great in a superman outfit.
What was a very disapointing is that the comic ends abruptly, if it had continued on the story could have been stronger.
Hey Guys and Girls, Your comic strip is really entertaining. I thought it was great how you used the lecturers we've had throughout the year and commented on something unique about their style. The humour is relevant to all JMS 1 students even second and third years who've been lectured by Rod, Anthea, Priscilla as well as Alette and Sim. I think it was really cute how you used "Journalism Society" to make it seem as if it's a school on its own. Rhodes is seen as solely consisting of 'wanna-be' journalists. Great choice of characters, very believable and the slightly melodramatic touch is very funny. I like the way you tied in John Thompson in the block focussed on Anthea, it makes you as a reader take a moment to reflect on all the funny moments we’ve had during the year. The fact that’s there’s no obvious climax really doesn’t make this comic any less entertaining. It’s a neat reflection of the year, with humour in every block. The overall comic is really appealing, the thought bubbles are so well organised and don’t cramp anything. It’s not over the top or crowded. Well done! Lotsa Love
I enjoyed your comic guys, although I do feel that it was too short. The plot was good, being that you have created villains out of the least expected people: our lecturers, but I do feel that that you have omitted all action. You could have used more interesting pictures and quotes for frames with just yourselves, the victims, if taking extra pictures of the lecturers was an issue. Perhaps you could have become hobos? This would have shown just how Rhodes villains had run you into the ground. I think that your use of personalised character traits of the lecturers was a good thing. Rod does ride a bike, although it is not little and pink. Pricilla does have extremely long hair. Alett and Sim are always seen together etcetera. I liked the way that you worked with already existing character traits. Love Michelle
well guys thank you all for you comments and the after having read all your comments, the common complaint is that the story is too short and some ommition was done...well this is because we geniuenely believed that we were confined to one page and later discovered that we could have done more. once again thanks guys.
I enjoyed your comic strip and thought that it was very clever and humorous, but I did not understand the narrative structure of the comic. I can only identify villains and victims in the comic, but no hero, helper or donor as in Propp's character roles. Also I didn't think the comic followed Todorov's narrative model, because it consists of only an initial equilibrium, disruption and recognition of the disruption. Where is the attempt to restore the equilibrium and the new equilibrium? This would have made the comic longer and more interesting. But in general I thought your comic was cute, funny and original. Good work.
Hey guys I really think your comic is hilarious; the way you make fun of the lectures is just awesome. I just think it is just a bit too short and vague. Your story could have had more, and could have certainly gone on for a few more boards. There is no real plot and we are sort of left hanging. I think you guys should have had more characters and they should have been constant. I was really entertained but I was really not impressed as the story did not have any real depth, guys what happened to the heroes and villains. What is the conclusion?
