Week #7 Reader Response
Since I did not get back into town until late last night, the post for next week's comments won't be due until 5:00pm Wednesday, October 11th, as I know many of you won't be back in Geneseo until late Tuesday or Wednesday anyway.
Ok, two-part question for today's post:
Part I:
What is the "reader-teller contract" Eisner describes? Why is it important in comic books?
Part II:
Eisner talks about ideas and story premises in Chapter 8. After reading Bone: Out from Boneville, what premise does Jeff Smith use when writing this graphic novel? Why? Use examples to illustrate your point.
Class meets at 5:30 Wednesday -- see you then.

Eisner's reader-teller contract is the unspoken relationship between a storyteller and a reader saying that the teller will tell a story in an understandable way and the reader will comprhend the story using his or her background and experiences. It is important in comic books because alot must be conveyed in pictures, the reader must be abel to read between the pictures to fuly understand the story.
