Great comic/love story, the way you made use of one guy playing two parts was brilliant. The photography is great and the background scenery fits in perfectly with the story line. I am not sure if the villain is Jess or Jason though, I suppose it might even be the alcohol. The prince was clearly Robert and the princess Karen. Losing her shoe and having Robert find it adds to a great fairy tale scenario. I am not sure if the facebook scene is a great addition to the comic strip. Perhaps seeing Jason losing out could have made a better scene. The last frame needs some additional comments to help round off the comic, a really enjoyable production though, well done.
Hey awesome comic guys. I especially love the way your’ll incorporate the whole fairytale idea. The comic is very bright and humorous. I especially love the use of the facebook status idea; I thought it was very funny and yet typical of a student. The Proppian characters of the hero and princess are clearly defined. And according to Todorov’s narrative model the narrative sequence is clearly visible with the final equilibrium being Karen and Robert getting together. However it is a little unclear as to how exactly, and why, Jason and Jess ended up hooking up. A frame should have maybe been shown before this one to show what had lead to what happened. But I really enjoyed the comic and I think your’ll did a good job, especially with the humour. So big up to you guys.
Peace out

The Comic You guys made was interesting but lacked creativity. The theme was cliché and very 'high school'. Who was the villain? the friend or the boyfriend? Also some of the fames lacked continuity for example, the one where he changes his face book status the picture was different to the description although a minor detail for the computer screen to be correct still an important one. Also where did the disruption take place was it because of the fire drill? And using the same person to play two characters made it rather confusing. Sorry Guys I can see you had an idea but it seemed like a half hearted effort.

Hey Guys
I enjoyed reading your photo comic based on relationships at Rhodes and liked the way that you incorporated the aspect of the lost shoe from the fairytale Cinderella into your story. I do however feel that the idea for your photo comic is slightly clichéd. You have used some of Propp’s dramatis personae in your piece but when I began to read your comic, I already knew how it was going to end. Instead of having the hero being a nerdy boy who’s secretly in love with the female lead character and the girl playing the broken-hearted princess in need of rescuing, maybe you could have the characters switch roles. If the boy is the one in need of rescuing from a villain other than a girl playing the field it might give your piece a new angle and a better climax.

i reeeeeally liked your comic... It was really funny and cute... kinda the romantic-comedy of the Rhodents :) Very good photos and little creative additions too. Well done :)
The story line of the comic was a very cute but somewhat naive. What I liked however was the fact that the creators stayed true to Proppian form ensuring that each character facilitated the continuation of the narrative. Even the friend in the third and fourth frame whose role at first is undefined, but later, in fact, appears as necessary to introduce what Vladamir Propp identifies as the ‘magic agent’; which in this narrative was the journalism assignment that lead the girl to her prince charming of who represented, once again in Propp’s narrative theory,’ achievement’.
I would have preferred for the creators to have played out the Cinderella theme a little bit more, with a few more trials and tribulations thus truly encompassing the anticipation of the ‘happy ending’ associated with the original fairytale. Apart from that, it was funny comic that reminded me of all the teen movies that erupted in Hollywood during the 90’s!
Oh hello guys,
Your comic was great; the use of imagery, artistic input and expression was incredible, one of the best ones that I have seen. The whole love story was easy to read and follow, the short conversation in the blocks brought along your story well, and most of the aspects were clear. The idea behind it was very playful, dramatic, and flowed very nicely especially bringing through the fairy tale of Cinderella into your comic. The recognition of the villain, princess, and hero was clearly defined as well as the first equilibrium, disruption and the final equilibrium.
Well done guys,
Sparrow.

I did quite enjoy this comic, but I do have a few questions.
Firstly, why does the pretty girl only notice the geek when the jock messes up? The reason I am attracted to your comic is that it is a common occurrence among the female species to go for the guy who’s a jerk only to realise that the ‘shoulder-to-cry on’ geek has always had her best interests at heart.
I do like the tension created, even though the plot is quite predictable, that didn’t bother me because the imagery used was enough to keep me reading. I liked how the jock was worried about his reputation, it made him slightly vulnerable to the audience. I also enjoyed the ‘Cinderella’ spin you put on it.
All in all, I enjoyed the discussion it raises for the audience, it makes us ask ourselves with which character do we relate. Are we the jock, geek or princess of this story?
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
