Comment on a photo comic.
Guys, this is a hilarious comic. I’m not sure though whether in terms of narrative structure your story is good. You must know a chap called Propp who came up with the notion ha a narrative must have characters like a hero, villain, donor, helper and more. Now, I think I can only identify the villains from this story? Who is the hero, the donor and others? Obviously, you have heard about Todorov. Remember he talked about the state of equilibrium? I would probably say equilibrium is before he guys joined Journsoc and it was disrupted by the villains who abused the funds. But there is no restoration of equilibrium. I might say there is a recognition that a disorder has occurred with the realisation that the money paid has been misused. Nevertheless, it’s quite a hilarious comic. But there is a strong absence of key Proppian characters that would make a complete narrative.
