Analysis
of The Absolutely True Diary Cartoon
“What are you drawing??” Rowdy and
the latest issue of Casper the Friendly Ghost. “He hates when I draw him! Never
lets me finish.” Cartoon Page 23
- I picked this cartoon because it
really drew my attention. At first glance it looks like this crazy drawing of
an angry face. But when you take a closer look, it is actually Rowdy calmly
reading comics in the background. His face is “ghostly” hidden behind the crazy
angry face. The message is that on the outside, Rowdy mostly looks like a
normal boy, but at times when he gets angry, his alter ego comes out and he
looks quite scary. That drawing of Rowdy’s face is how Junior portrays him when
he gets mad. Even though this picture is ballistic, I like this cartoon because
it symbolizes the friendship that Junior and Rowdy have together. Rowdy gets so
upset when Junior draws him, but yet he still supports him drawing.
