Tragedy/Comedy

Was a little more lazy on this one...as evident by the copy/paste cutout background people. To be honest, I couldn't remember all who were sitting around me in class, and even then I didn't even know if anyone woud WANT me to draw them. So...if you are okay with me drawing you in the future comics, why don't you give me a holler, specifically on a comment here, because even if you tell me in person I'll probably forget -.-; (I forget a lot of things that aren't written down).

So anyways, time to talk about class! The readings we have had to do have completely redefined comedy and tragedy for me. I think I'm starting to understand them now, and how we use them in almost opposite senses nowadays. Today if someone's death is 'tragic', it probably means it was unexpected, and something humorous we often see coming a hundred miles away. A great example of this is in the use of resurrection. In the book they describe Jesus' resurrection as being comedic, and I totally understand that. But in today's day and age of storytelling, resurrection has almost become a cop-out, something you expect. In most Disney movies, if the prince dies, he comes back to life a few minutes later after a cool light show (Think Beauty and the Beast  and Tangled). I have even read one book series where the same character is resurrected three seperate times, in three seperate ways, in three seperate forms...which becomes super obnoxious especially since he is a really bland character. Its almost like people today are afraid to kill off characters for good (I sure know I'm not).
So yeah. There's my two-cents.
