The panels I
attended were “Child’s-Eye View: Memories and Memoirs of Youth” and then “They
Shoot Black People, Don’t They?: A Cartoonist’s Look at Police Brutality in the
U.S.”
The first
panel gave me confirmation to the stance of how every aspect of a comic effects
how the narrative and feel of it comes across. During the panel Meags
Fitzgerald mentioned how she drew with pencil for the chapters where it’s her
as a child – in her book Long Red Hair – and then drew with a pen for the
chapters in which she is an adult. She also mentioned how the book is duotone
which calls back to how the book is about two senses of self.
I really
enjoyed the second penal and definitely learned a few things about the topic of
police brutality and racism that I didn’t know of beforehand. Keith Knight
mostly uses humor to deliver a message and start a conversation about these
topics and does it very well might I say. For those that didn’t attend this
panel I really recommend taking a look at Knight’s comics.
