Comic Strips (Class)

Dream of a Rarebit Fiend

- Last panel always contains a person in a state of having just woken up. They are usually disturbed by their dream.
- The dream panels contain more and more information leading up to the transition into the woken dreamer panel. A build up as if there's about to be some sort of explosion.
- Typically a lack of setting in the dream sequences. No real sense of background or strange background
- First panel usually has a sense of realism that quickly degenerates into madness.

----
Krazy Kat

- Lots of setting. It's pretty clear where the characters are in terms of what's around them.
- Transitions tend to go from setting to setting depending on the story.
- More text and speech among characters and in single panels.
- The layout of panels changes with almost every comic.
- Panels are numbered to avoid confusion.
- Text is varying and when there is less text in bubbles it seems to have less importance.
