Understanding Comics


Mojo Jojo - Powerpuff Girls
From looking at Mojo's character, Craig McCracken has done an excellent job on creating a rather sinister and villain-y style.  His pointy costume makes it look as if he's unfriendly, conniving, and unapproachable.  His simplistic features and green skin also make it seem that he's not just a monkey, but a very malicious guy as well.  He is also drawn very boldly with thick black lines instead of fine detail which makes Mojo a more universal and less specific character.

Jane Lane - Daria
Jane, on the other hand, gives off a much more different style.  Judging from her choice of outfit she wears, from her triple piercing on her left ear to her big black boots, I'd say she is a rebel and somewhat of an artist.  From what she is holding, a sketchbook and pencil, you can clearly tell she likes to draw.  The way her right hand is placed on her hip, you can also clarify that she doesn't really care at all for anything.



Muriel - Courage the Cowardly Dog
John R. Dilworth draws Muriel in a very simplistic manner to show that Muriel is a very simple character.  She is wearing big black boots, a dark yellow dress, and a light yellow apron to show she likes to cook and lives a very simple life.  The smile on her face shows she is very gentle and friendly.  The old fashioned glasses on her face and fluffy white hair shows that she is old-fashioned.
