Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A creative option for people who can't draw (or who just want to 'draw' with a camera?) the Photo Comic involves taking pictures of things—either posed inanimate objects, or actual people—and making a comic out of them. In the Web Comics world, toys are popular for this. Also became popular in British comics (particularly girls' comics) in the late 1970s and early 1980s; however, it proved unpopular and the ones that didn't shut down (as many were at the time) reverted to drawn strips. Nowadays the best-remembered photo strips seem to be the parodies of photo strips from Viz. Arguably, Photocomics can be done cheaper and with less time consumption than the other popular choice: Machinomics. This is because photos owe themselves well to settings where realistic lighting is in high demand, requiring a lot fewer tweaks than would screenshots from a video game. |
