This is brilliant! The onomatopoeia that you chose were perfect for each case and even the proverbs were fitting! Putting up the meaning for the onomatopoeia you used was also a good idea; I think it's something I'll add to my work as well.

I love this. Great use of Katakana, I like the spacing of the text, and the differing colors of the words depending on what's happening. I read Calvin and Hobbes as a kid and this also just does a great job of capturing the spirit of the original strip. I wouldn't change anything
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to read the katakana and process the sound. The use of more sound effects than words allows the comic strip to come to life and become much more animated. It also has the ability to subtly become a part of the comic strip; it isn't overbearing on the illustrations.
ReplyDeleteすごいですね！
このプロジェクトはたのしですよ。
わたしもCalvin and Hobbsをみました。
そしていま、アメリカのアニメはにほんごがあります。
すごいですね！とてもおもしろいです。
ReplyDeleteThe illustration and the manga are very synchronous with one another. The Katakana phrases that you used are very appropriate for the contexts. Love the addition of Japanses proverbs!
This is so creative because you combined an American comic with katakana words as onamatopoeias. It's amazing that you were able to use so many different katakana words for sounds!
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea a lot actually. Great way to mesh together whats familiar with new things we're learning.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me soooooo happy! :)
