Page 1 from Richard Sala’s comic “Strange Question”

In the first page of Richard Sala’s comic, “Strange Question” the author uses various forms of framing. There are five different frames throughout this page that each frame a certain point of the story. Each of these frames are outlined by a  yellowish border line that is also part of the background. What I like about the framing in this comic is that the frames are not complete squares, the style of framing varies from different shapes. In the top left corner of the page there is a triangular frame that is framing the title of the comic, however within this frame there is also another frame framing the actual text, this is considered frames inside of frames. To emphasis the title of the comic in this frame the author adds a border around it to make it stand out. Throughout the rest of this page you can also see that the author creates a text box for each frame, this is called text over image. Each frame has its own border around the text separating it from its image underneath. Throughout the frames in this comic there is also a shift in scale between the frames. In the top frame there is (what I consider) a medium shot, there are two characters and you can see a bit of there surrounding. Then in the next two frames the scale shifts and there is a close-up of the main character, emphasizing what she is doing.  Followed by another shift in scale, which zooms out and shows a figure creeping into a scary looking house.Overall, I feel like the different form of framing seen throughout this comic make it more appealing and interesting to the reader.
