Super Du-ray Comic Strip Wayne Jefferson

Solospaceman Comic Strip Synopsis I am the author of a collections of comic strips called solospaceman. One reason I drew and wrote them was that I wanted and want my readers to self-reflect on them. In fact, when my reader consciously relies on his own individual mental reasoning to interpret a comic strip that I had created (self-reflects), it allows him to examine what he finds relevant in it. Consequently, he makes connections to my comic strip stories that are based on his real-life experiences with what I have drawn and written. That in turn generates proficient readers who are capable of re-organizing my comic strips into meaningful reading experiences. Similarly, my comic strip drawing and writing style allow my reader to self-reflect on the particular comic strip story that she read by asking her to interpret it in her own way. That is, immediately after the majority of my comic strip stories, readers are asked to... Please place your drawing and/or your interpretation of this story here! The key word in that polite request is interpretation. It means to clarify, explain, or translate something ambiguous... in terms of its dictionary definition. However, in the context of my comic strip stories, when the reader is asked to interpret them by following my instructions to... Please place your drawing and/or your interpretation of this story here! ... her interpretation provides her with another way to self-reflect in that it gives her a prompt to reexamine the particular comic strip I drew and wrote that she had read. That in turn allows her not only to become a better reader, but also a better writer if she chose to write a response to one of my comic strips. So, for the above reasons, I invite you to read one of my comic strip stories then self-reflect on it by writing a response to it or choosing a response to it that you feel most comfortable in creating.
