Last week, I talked about the exciting project that my English professor assigned to the class. The Abominable Charles Christopher is a web comic series that is updated by the author, Karl Kerschl, every Wednesday. In my first blog, I talked about my overall thoughts of the comic as a whole. I talked about the mixed emotions that Karl, the author, shows in each picture. His thoroughly drawn images show every detail of emotion that each character is trying to show.
This week, and the following weeks until the semester ends, I will be posting my thoughts on the latest updates on the comic. So if you are following my blog, you might wanna get in the program and get updated with the comic.
My take on the February 1st, 2012 edition is simple and straight to the point. To me, the 1st and 2nd panels stick out from the rest of the panels because it shows a behavior that a lot of couples in real life face. The woman always performs the duty of serving the family with care and love. What they do is very hard but goes unnoticed by their spouses. The men let the women do all the work in the house and when she is done, instead of showing gratitude towards her, the man disregards her hard work and goes off to find something that will satisfy him.
