After the girls encounter the foxes who tell them "beware the kitten holy," a lot of their energy was spent trying to figure out what it meant. Weird things keep happening to the girls throughout the book, and they are possibly linked to this "kitten holy." I thought this meme was perfect because it definitely seems that "resistance is futile" and the kitten is wreaking havoc on the camp and other nearby camps.
I thought this meme was funny because of how well it related to Jen and the camper's relationship. Friendships and leader/camper relationships are an important theme throughout the novel. There were several different versions of this meme but this one definitely best relates to Lumberjanes. While a camp counselor might seem like a fun summer job to outsiders, Jen feels like she constantly has to babysit the girls. Also, the girls feel like she is way too strict, which ties in to the "what my campers think I do" section of this meme. I think the last picture is funny because it seems as if it could be from the point of view of a counselor being surrounded by campers. This is so relatable to Lumberjanes because in the beginning the girls are always ganging up and plotting against Jen as a team.
This meme fits the girl's poison ivy situation perfectly. It also demonstrates the idea that they are all in this together. If one of them gets into trouble, they are all going down (including Jen).
I wanted to include a meme on the Fibonacci sequence because I thought it was great that Jo knew this and was able to solve the problem. Also, this meme can relate to almost everything in the novel. Adventures are always "escalating quickly." The girls go from canoeing in the river to getting thrown around by a sea monster and the boys camp goes from serving cookies and tea to trying to attack the girls.
The poison ivy meme is a great (and hilarious) highlight of the graphic novel. You did a great job with these-- I enjoyed it very much.
ReplyDeleteThe poison ivy meme was funny. I wouldn't have thought about it linking them all together so that's a great point as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina,
ReplyDeleteThese memes smartly comment on the themes of the comic series while also tapping into the snarky humor of memes. I particularly like the Oprah one and the Fibonacci sequence one because it accents an important part of the series (Jo's math skills) while also commenting more generally on how their adventures always begin as a mundane scouting activity and escalate to a supernatural adventure. I would upsize the second meme because it is hard to read the text in its current size.
