The Comic Strip

     This week We delved into the comic strip and read quite a few. I remember them very much from my youth. My father used to call them "The Intellectual Section." I remember feeling grown up because I had a mug of coffee, and was reading the comic strips like him. I enjoyed the seamless continuity they created with very little line work and color, at the time it seemed so effortless, but now I understand just what a huge undertaking and pressure it must have been for a comic strip artist to always have something fresh and funny every week. 

     There was no particular assignment posted for this week, so I figured I would just relate a story from my youth and something I have learned since.
