Welcome to Week Two of Comixpedia's October 2005 Issue!
Our feature article is a nice piece of "Comic" Theory 101 by Neil Cohn called In place of another.
We have RJ Astruc's interview with Mimo, creator of the deeply twisted webcomic, Toy Division.
And, of course, there's always room for more Welton Colbert.
Comic Theory 101: In place of Another
|
One of the most famous theories that Scott McCloud set forth in Understanding Comics was that of "closure." He stated that this was the phenomenon by which people's minds "fill in" what occurs between two comic panels. Now, in other writings of mine, I've argued that any linear panel-to-panel explanation of how people understand sequences of images has multiple problems. However, in this piece, I'd like to take aim at one particular example of McCloud's and use it to illuminate a broader phenomenon that occurs in both visual and verbal expression.

In the Toy Division: RJ Astruc interviews Mimo

You probably know Toy Division. (Note: Toy Division is NSFW) Although little more than six months old, it already has a huge following and a reputation that ranks it among the most twisted comics on the ‘net. Billed as a venture into SSexploitation, Toy Division features kewpie-doll faced dictators, sexual deviancy, and grotesque medical experiments on human subjects. The artist behind this delightful moral abomination is Mimo.
