I picked up the comic strip “Old Lady Harley” to review because I have always loved the characters Harley and the Joker for their cunning and tongue in cheek attitudes. While reading this comic, what stood out to me the most was the layout of the comic and how much meaning is inserted into each frame, chosen color scheme, and lettering of the words. First, frames play an important role in the comic to produce a realistic depiction the events at play. In page 1, the frames are intended to mimic a television screen because the comic scene is that of two journalists giving television news about a zombie attack and about the whereabouts of superheroes. The slightly curved edge of the corners and old-school television lines over the panels works as a stand-in for a television screen as well as it works to suggest the time period. Since televisions have improved in quality, it is safe to assume that the comic exists within the time period of the early 90s. Secondly, the color scheme of the comic also works within a time period. On page 3, there is a flashback memory in a grey-black neutral color pallet, depicting past, dark memories. The exception being the color yellow, which is symbolic for fire. Thus, the choice of coloring is not simply for aesthetic purposes but it is also a symbolic element intended to provide further alternate meaning to the comic scene. In addition, the presence of the color yellow against a grey-black background is intended to give off a dramatic, cinematic effect similar to a car explosion in a movie scene. Lastly, the choice of lettering works very well with the flow of the panels so that the author is not in need of guiding the reader’s eye through the use of arrows or numbers. For example, page 11 is a very action crammed comic scene and there a lot of things to take in at once. Despite this, the organization of the panels does not lead the reader’s eye in the wrong direction of the story because while there are overlapping panels, they still maintain a carefully placed chronological order. The sound effects of “CHOOM!” or “BLAMM!”  are internally placed with the coinciding panel so the reader is not confused to which panel the sound effect belongs to. In this sense, the placement of the lettering in accordance with the flow of panels really elevates the emotional impact of the comic scene because they are complementary to each other rather than distinctive and separate functions.
