Comic Strip Description
The one thing you need to know about my comic strip is that "Sparkie," my character, is made of fire. The background of my comic strip stays consistant throughout the whole strip. It is very basic and it just consists of a little flame guy who is just basking in the sun and is very happy and evil looking. Then in the frame you see him still smiling but there is a cloud coming in from the left. On the third one the cloud is covering the whole sky and it starts to rain, this is where you see Sparky's face go from very happy and evil to looking very sad and innocent. In stead of using words to communicate with the reader I used the expressions that Sparky gives off. Then finally in the last frame I had the rain fill up the whole thing and Sparky be completely out. I just wanted to expose his true vulnerability.

Oppenheim's Image
This strange looking image by Oppenheim really makes no sense to me. I know I have no artistic or creative ability, but for someone to make something like this furry cup of tea just seems pretty odd to me. It almost creeps me out in a way because I cannot help but imagine filling up that cup with tea and taking a sip out of it and getting tons of hair in your mouth. Obviously it would not be for drinking out of, so I have to look at it in a more artist point of view.
It seems to be just a normal tea cup on a saucer with a spoon next to the cup, but still on the saucer, the only abnormal thing about this is that all three items are covered in fur. So much fur that it looks like it could be a dead animal shaped into a tea cup instead.
The more I looked at this hairy tea cup to more I wondered what kind of animal this must have been. Fox hair came to mind, but that would be too long. I kept on the same lines as a smaller animal that might often be hunted. That is when I figured it out, it was a deer fur, or deer hide. It makes more sense because deer are most commonly hunted.
So now that I knew this tea setting was covered in deer hide I began to wonder why. I know that deer are hunted and killed all the time especially in New Hampshire, but I still did not know what it means. Then I thought that maybe it actually did have to do with hunting. Perhaps Oppenheim was representing his dislike of the whole concept of hunting by showing how little of a purpose it has and how much damage it does. Killing of an innocent animal but not really getting much out of it. The small tea cup, saucer, and spoon, I feel can actually represent the insignificance of a dead animal and how little people nowadays get out of it.
