The webcomic False Knees really stood out to me when going through all of the different readings this week. While going through and reading this comic I noticed how simple and easy it is to follow like the clear line comics we read a couple weeks ago. The simple story line of the comics and how short they are makes them really easy to follow. One that really stood out to me about being clear line was the one that was done in blue color pencil. The way how Joshua just used one color made that comic simple, but it grabbed my attention. I can relate to how the bird is feeling with wanting to take a day off but no matter how early we start working on something another thing pops up. Joshua gets that across to the readers in a fast but easy way to comprehend how the bird is feeling. Clear line comics I feel like grad the attention of their readers easier than busy comics.
Another one of his comics that stood out to me was the one about the racoons talking about their first time eating a pickle. That comic was quite funny. He used simple but attention-grabbing sentences to keep you interested in the comic. When you scroll to it at first you might think he is talking about something totally different than eating a pickle but once you get past that and you find out about the pickle you will be laughing for a while. Honestly though the wording he chooses to use in some of his comics can grab the attention of the reader within a heartbeat. I just went back and reread the first False Knees and I started cracking up. It starts off with different color leaves and then transitions to the bird talking about his favorite color blorange. At first when I read it I was like what is he talking about and then when he “explained” the only way to see it I finally figured out what he was talking about. It is a so-called sad color now but it was a really funny and attention-grabbing way of describing a color.
