Inspiration Comic

     This particular piece is a Peanuts comic strip about good ol' Charlie Brown. Ironical this particular piece is about religion and the Old Testament. The comic is a classical Peanut Cartoon that features beloved characters such as Snoopy and Charlie Brown. In this Comic Snoopy preforms and act from the Old Testament using puppets. The comic not only has pictures of the characters but also uses dialogue boxes to allow the characters to talk. The comic starting from the upper right hand corner with Snoopy reads Act III/ Have you ever seen the entire Old Testament performed by puppets before?/ No, I can't say that I have./ Perhaps I should warn you about the next scene/ What next scene?/ Splash!/ The parting of the Red Sea.

    I found this particular piece about two days before starting this post. I found it while looking up comic strips on Google images. I originally was just looking for a comic that was a classic. I choice this piece because I have always had a soft spot for Snoopy and the comic was also about religion so it was a good example of an appropriate way to poke fun at an aspect of a religion. I also decided to choice this particular comic because it was a actually funny.

    The conventions of comics are they have pictures that are normally cartoon, are support to be humorous or poke fun at an issue, and thought/dialogue boxes. This particular piece follows the typical conventions of a comic and is considered a classic. Comics vary a lot and have many sub genres the possess more conventions.

    The target audience for this particular piece is very broad and might even be Americans in general because so many adult grew up on the Peanuts comic strips and are still a big fan. Because this would probably be found in a newspaper it opens up the target audience up because a lot of adults read newspapers and at if any section in the newspaper I would assume that the comic section would be the most likely place for a child to go. In not exactly sure if they are famous in other countries or not but if they are it might also be targeted there.
