I enjoyed your story. We are all warned that university is demanded but the fact that Rhodes is located in a small town, we are prone to take up drinking as an outlet. I thought it was clever to start with them all study, there being equilibrium. You guys were able to implement both Propp’s and Todorov’s narrative structures well. I also thought that the drinking scene was great the blurring effect really enforces the feeling of intoxication and one losing control of their senses. I think peer pressure is still something that most students struggle and more so in college, all being “grown-ups” and all.
Therefore over all, it was a good effort and well done, guys.
I thought the plot of the story was quite interesting, in line with the cliché suggested in the title. It portrayed the very serious pressures of Varsity life that people may not realise or realise but do not want to confront. I enjoyed that the hero was Bob, who did not conform. I also appreciated the flighty feminine characters, which perhaps suggests a sort of stereotype concerning who is more easily pressured between males and female. The characters although cliché were realistic, meaning the audience can relate to what is being portrayed in the comic. Had Bob found a girl who was also non conformist and possibly a devout member of His People, it would seriously then be formulaic of varsity clichés. Nice job.
This was a real representation of university life in a more general sense and not just necessarily focused on Rhodes University as such. I feel that there was a good quality of blocks which made sense because the story followed the same sequence throughout. Having said this I also felt only a little bit intrigued at times because there seems to be common ideologies throughout the story and it lacks something that can distinguish where the story is based as well as your audience i.e. Rhodes. I would assume your comic strip to be a real life drama, some characters were clearly defined when being contrasted to Propp’s dramatis personae categories. The hero was clearly defined as Bob who took the stand for what he believed in, the Villain as Suzzy who lured the guys. Over all this was very concise and to the point. There was a bit of suspense especially towards the end of each strip which kept my eyes on the page.
