When I think of comic books, the first thing I ask is because ... there are people who choose this form of communication and expression? Why this and not others? This question is still
first reflections on the quality of what we are told, the narrative content, technology, ... When I read
Tony Millionaire the question becomes redundant. Tony and comics. His thinking is developed in that form. And his plates, whatever the topic, whatever the words are the quintessence of the narrative in comics. Also in Maakeis , where Millionaire seems simply to have fun with vaudeville tricks, he shows us the infinite possibilities of the narrative in comics, and a reflection on the essential rhythm, fishing with both hands in the tradition of old strips, Krazy Kat first .
Look at this.
The strips are developed in two parallel parts. The main, large format, and a secondary, small, below.
The former is a more free form, which changes from strip to strip, but in which you can still observe a definite rhythm narrative that leads to the final resolution of the gag. What happens below in the secondary strip, is even more interesting in terms of rhythm. There is a continuous alternation, in a time syncopated track, where the characters take turns to an alien landscape (alien?! Or contestualizzante?) In many ways reminiscent of the metaphysical territories Krazy Kat. The gags are mostly idiotic, but it is the essence of the comic, its narrative devices to make Maakies missed.
is a small selection of strips complete.
propose again just below the secondary strips.
