In the Bleachers by Steve Moore

I love this comic! It tells a whole story without any words. This bowling ball is walking into a bar full of pins, about to roll out on these guys (poor pun intended). The artist use three points to let us know the grape looking circle in the center of the comic was a bowling ball. What is even more impressive is the use of lines to create depth. The line create volume or a plane in the photo. This 2 dimensional photo turned into 3 dimensional photo by the use of lines to create planes. The bowling ball looks big because the shadow of lines behind it, compared to the pin shadows. Also the little detail lines of the hat make them look more 3 dimensional, rather than flat. Using the lines created a plane in this comic.

I think if the author of this comic used spatial translation wonderful. He used the space of an old western scene to create a tension between the bowling ball and the pins. This has been done in photo graphics, movies, and books but because of those occurrences we understand this translation. We understand this ironic comic and get a different, funny, view point of pins and bowling balls.
