Comic Strips (Reflection)

Comic strips have a strange sense to them. Before class I had read a bunch of Peanuts strips and the comparison between them and the strips we read in class was astonishing. For some reason the Peanuts strips make more sense to me than those of Krazy Kat and Dream of a Rarebit Fiend. Dream of a Rarebit Fiend definitely had something it was trying to accomplish by appealing to the readers with a situation that they may relate to. Krazy Kat on the other hand just made no real sense to me whatsoever. I tried to grasp the idea behind Krazy Kat, but it honestly just seemed like a recurring story with the same characters. I'm sure if I was alive back when Krazy Kat was being printed I might be able to understand it a little better, but honestly I believe that it really hasn't held up all too well over the years. Peanuts made way more sense to me as most the strips had a much simpler and always relatable meaning.
