La idea es que el sofá, viejo y hecho polvo, al engullirte te mandara al país de las Maravillas. Y en un principio pensé que la idea se explicaba por sí misma con la narración, pero de un tiempo a esta parte hay gente que me comenta que no entienden los chistes (en muchos casos porque realmente no lo son, y en otros porque hay una escala Kinsey de risas), y me acojoné.
Al final puse un par de bocadillos que, sin resultar cristalinos, dejaban la tira más accesible.
Sí, al final me acojoné.
Aquí tenéis las dos versiones, con texto y sin texto, como originalmente fue ideada, a ver qué os parece el cambio con una intervención tan menor :
When I was finishing inking SHIT HAPPENS strip # 294 I was struggling with its dialogue.
Main concept was that the couch, old and finished, while swallowing you was also sending you to Wonderland. And at first I thought that the idea was self-explained with the storytelling, but I've been questioned for some time about my jokes being laughable (most cases because thay are really not jokes, and many other times because there is a Kinsey laugh scale also), and I kinda freaked out.
At the end, I putted a couple of balloons, without being completely evident, made the strip more accessible.
Yeah, I shitted on my pants.
Here you have the 2 versions, with text and without it, as It was originally designed, let's see what do you think of the change caused by a lesser intervention like this one.
