Sally Cruikshank two films are extremely weird, but fascinating. I couldn't keep my eyes off the page. I really like how Quasi is conveyed as a dick in the piece, only looking for himself. Also, the exaggeration fo this whole world and going to a museum that lets you look into different time periods if you fall threw is an amazing concept. I want to try some of those machines and rides. They are super bizarre. You need to watch it again to get some of the tiny details that happen threw out the whole short film. These wacky films are so bizarre that they are captivating.

The beginning, starting off with the butterfly story enhances the introduction of the comic. Without it, I feel like it wouldn’t capture the audience in the story. I want to see how it relates to the overarching story. I find the characters and style really captivating, gives that gruesome western feel. However, some of the panels do get confusing on what is happening at the moment. Whether we are going back in time or forward. But I enjoy the placement and experimentation of certain areas. Executed pretty well. Another issue I have is that the artist doesn’t experiment enough on conveying a story without words or noises. Really dive into the emotion of the character just by objects and camera angles. This is kind of interesting but how I connected with these characters is based on video games I have played.

So while reading the two comics, I found interest in the two comic books difference in style. Even though they both have a grit to each one of them, Blankets has a cleaner style. I feel like you couldn't interchange them because it would throw the whole mood and concept out the window. When I finished both of them, I found both actually pretty relatable. Especially the issue of dealing with religion. They both tackled that issue well instead of bashing them about their viewpoints. In Blankets, I really like how the artist stretch the compositions and perspective of the whole piece. they would stretch certain characters expression as well as break some of the styles to show more mood by making less clean shapes. To contrast, I also enjoyed how Contract the God style was rough and felt like you were in the ghettos of New York. Each one I think executed their pieces very well, even if you don't relate to them, I felt like they impacted me and my viewpoints.

"Falling Sky" I have a really cool interaction o=between the audience, something I have never seen. However, I felt that some of the moving through the frame should have some reasons in the shot, not just to do it. The style is interesting, having it feel like drawing, that is unfinished. But I felt that the comic artist should push the lighting, through certain areas. I don't feel that much for the characters, besides the dialog that is said and conveyed. It's not my favorite, but I like the artist trying a new way to read comics.
