2022 WORKBOOK | Grade ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE 12 TERM EXPLANATION Comic strip A sequence of drawings telling a humorous or adventurous story – found in newspapers, etc. Frame Each separate picture in a comic strip is called a frame. punchline The final phrase or sentence of a cartoon, providing the humour. The different frames usually build up to the punch line in the last frame. Font It refers to the size and type of letters used. Larger or bold letters are used for emphasis. Movement lines Movement is indicated by means of vertical, curved and diagonal lines. Speedy action is indicated by streaky lines, or by the action going out of the frame. Punctuation Clever use is made of punctuation to create meaning. Speech bubbles Speech bubbles are used to indicate the words spoken by the character. Thought bubbles Thought bubbles show what the character is thinking. Visual clues Some parts of the drawing which may be used to help the reader establish what the cartoon is about. Irony When one thing is said, but something else is meant. Stereotype An exaggerated preconceived generalisation about the typical behaviour, attitudes, dress, etc. of various types of people. Satire Uses humour to make a serious point. It involves using wit, irony or sarcasm to highlight human vices or follies. Anti-climax this is when tension is created and we expect something important or exciting to happen, but instead, the ending is very ordinary or a let-down. Page 8

2022 WORKBOOK | Grade ENGLISH HOME LANGUAGE 12 4.1 What does the Calvin's (the boy) facial expression/body language in FRAME 1 2 reveal about his attitude? Calvin’s screwed up eyes and hands on his hips ✔clearly indicate that he is annoyed/angry/irritated✔. 4.2 In FRAME 2, the cartoonist uses a technique that is different from those used in the 2 other frames. Discuss the effectiveness of this technique. The lack of a frame enclosing Frame 2✔ is effective as it creates the impression that Calvin is addressing the entire nation as a politician would✔. 4.3 Comment on how the last frame conveys the cartoonist's message. 3 The cartoonist is satirising society, especially politicians, and how their actions are motivated by greed and self-interest✔. The previous frames give the impression that Calvin’s feelings about not being allowed to vote are prompted by his concern for his country and its citizens✔. However, it is clear in the last frame that Calvin’s concerns are motivated by self-interest and greed, rather than by his selflessness/concern for humanity✔. CALVIN AND HOBBES 4.4 Discuss how humour is created in this cartoon. 3 Calvin’s suggestion that he and Hobbes both dress up as the ‘scariest thing’ they can think of is ironic✔. He cannot think of anything scarier than toxic waste as he thinks of his companion as being a harmless furry friend✔. However, he does not realise that tigers are in fact fearsome, dangerous predators✔, as is illustrated by [10] his companion revealing its true nature in the last frame. Page 10
