New Yorker Phrase Narratives

"Miss! Oh, miss! For goodness sake, stop!"

"Miss! Oh, Miss! For goodness sake, stop!"

Ok folks we're in week 3 of the conceptual imagery class. Our design Jedi master, Chase has given us a quick lecture on conceptual art and we've played The Paper Game, results of which you will see in a later post. We are all anxiously awaiting our next at home assignment when Chase gleefully reaches into his bag and produces...drumroll please...The Magic Fez! Oh dear, for those of us who have had previous encounters with the Fez we now know some silly phrases and statements are heading our way. Chase relishes the looks of bewilderment, disappointment and panic on our faces as he passes the Fez around the classroom. I have the following phrase: "Miss! Oh, Miss! For goodness sake, stop!" Yikes. Now its time to think abour the narrative potential behind the phrase and how it can be interpreted into two different, one panel images. Reference to older New Yorker Cartoons is strongly encouraged by our Master.
Several days later...phew! Here are my two cartoons, each with a different take on the given phrase. I enjoy the cartoons and illustrations of Gary Larson and Gahan Wilson - not only are they funny but they make comic drawing look so effortless! This was not the case for me.
