Babylonische spraakverwarring

Beer legt het allemaal zo duidelijk uit en toch begrijpt Sem niet precies wat hij bedoeld. Sem zou beter moeten weten, de paddenstoel is niet zijn echte huis, maar het huis van de popenmaakster. Daar is wel thee en misschien koekjes en Beer weet dat.

Dit is een belangrijk punt in het verhaal. Vanaf hier zal de algehele toon van een stukje grimmiger worden, Beer en Sem raken elkaar kwijt en Sem zal zich re…
Sorry, ik heb al te veel gezegd!

In ieder geval veel plezier met pagina 18!

Hey Joost, weer een pagina af Blijft leuk die iconentaal. En paneel 7 is heel fraai in perspectief! Alleen paneel 6 is in het engels, is dat bewust?
We wachten met spanning op de volgende…..

This page is a really interesting turn in the story, as you say – and it points up the fact that you mentioned earlier, that the bear is actually a lot wiser than he seems, but simply doesn’t have the proper means of communicating it. I like that he speaks in symbols, but that you make no attempt to explain exactly how or why Sem understands, or to what extent – it’s just an accepted part of their interaction that there is an incomplete understanding between them. The colors on this page seem gentler to me than previous ones – it may simply be bthat I haven’t looked closely at it in a few days, but I think that the slightly lower saturation in the background gives Semmie and the Bear a significant “punch” that makes the page really readable. And the broken panels in the middle of the page, 3-4 and 5-6, which could be single panels but are separated, are a really good use of the gutter as a visual metaphor, showing that the two characters are having a miscommunication. Overall another really effective page!

  Thanks M!
  Colors do look better don’t they! Each page I’m struggling with the colors, I’m always happy with it but somehow they’r not like the colors I have in mind. Jus t have to keep pushing I guess.
  Next pages will become quite a chalenge since the color scheme wil change dramatically.
  
  I’m glad you noticed the metaphor, It’s just the effect I hoped it would be. It’s not just a conversation, but a process where they fisically and mentaly separate.
  
  Thanks again!
  Joost.
