Panel 2 on page 3 is often displayed as a perfect example of this (then) revolutionary style of character design, with the mother and father being highly "stylized." Good eye! I hadn't really noticed the father pushing the frame with his foot.

But here, works so well the narrator's voice mixed up with the action of the graphics! <br />I love panels one and two on page three when Gerald's fathers seem to lean as a result of the shoe that bang the frame.Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795779964678109450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-90355236652371118262009-11-01T06:27:10.025-05:002009-11-01T06:27:10.025-05:00Keith: the dad was my favorite character as well w...<b>Keith</b>: the dad was my favorite character as well with the doctor a close second. <br /><br /><b>King</b>: You bet, this was the stuff in 52. You can see its massive influence today in many cartoons (some would say that the influence has been too pervasive and that modern cartoonists have used this style almost as an excuse to be lazy in their character design - John K of <i>Ren ad Stimpy</i> fame holds that view, I think). <br /><br />But, as with most things, the origninal source is something beautiful and orignal, like here. -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6028911836649669351.post-54327943920986682852009-11-01T01:28:56.822-04:002009-11-01T01:28:56.822-04:00Great stuff!
