The Comic Strip

For the selection of comic strips i looked at Little Nemo, Krazy Kat and Peanuts. Each of those comics were very fun to read and look at. The first comics I looked at were Little Nemo, I have seen these comics before and it was really nice getting to read a variety of them in a larger format, looking at it digitally lets me see the very intricate drawings and sense of color and design that Winsor had when he was drawing them. The locations for the dream land and the backgrounds and vistas he drew were truly breathtaking.
I had always loved reading Peanuts in the comics section of the Sunday Newspaper so it was really nice and nostalgic to reread this strips. I mostly read the 1990s collection and found that I even recognized some of the strips, Shultz wrote them in a very classic and wholesome manner which is in a way refreshing when compared to alot of contemporary comics that I read.
Krazy Kat was something I never heard of or seen before but from what I remembered in class the panels were pretty fun so i decided to look at some more. It is drawn very simply but its very appealing to look at, the stories are short and do a lot of slapstick humor which reminds me of Tom and Jerry.
