Week 11: Asterios Polyp


This is probably the most visually appealing comic I have ever seen. The main character, Asterios, I immediately recognized as the kind of person that has the opposite personality of myself. Every detail about him, from how he’s drawn, to how he views the world, to what he says is so void of any emotion and logical that I find it very difficult to relate to him, and tired of his dialogue very quickly. His treatment of other people is also very logical and shrewd, and his whole character just irritates me. His wife, on the other hand, I was very sympathetic toward. I like how the artist differentiated Asterios and his wife with sharp lines, angles and blocks of color and then spheres, curves and shading.
