Yes, I realized it wasn’t a comic book, it was a children’s picture book. I think it’s close enough to guarantee reports on comic blogs, not just because the overlap between comics and picture books is the overlap of media that tells stories through a combination of words and sequential pictures.
In other words, she Shark girl Probably a picture book – Beaton’s third, after 2015 Princess and pony and 2016 King baby– This is a picture book for the cartoonist.
Beaton seems to be looking at it from Hans Christian Andersen’s inspiration Little Mermaidat least broadly, her book is a semi-human semi-icon girl who struck a deal with the Sea Witch to give herself some legs to take care of certain businesses in the surface world.
Of course, this special mermaid is not a traditional mermaid. Her fish part is a shark, and she has the fangs of a shark.
When Beaton introduced her to us, she said, “She had no trouble in her life.”
“Until one day…she was caught.”
As shown in the illustration, she is caught in a huge, weighted fishing net along the seabed, known as a bottom trawl or drag, which is a particularly sinister way to catch fish, as it obviously not only absorbs the target species, but also picks up any other fish or marine life, which happens to be the path to the network (e.g., here, here, Shark Girl, Shark Girl). In addition, the method also tears the bottom of the seabed, causing environmental damage to the ecosystem.
As Beaton explains in her narrative:
She saw it among the Internet fish that humans like to eat. But, like herself, there are many fish that don’t eat. All of these creatures can die for no reason and be thrown away.
When tug the boat online Jellyfishunder Captain Barrett’s command, this feelingrevenge“Inflated in the shark girl’s heart, giving her the strength to get rid of the net.
Shark Girl’s plan is to find a job on the boat first Jellyfishshe could easily do this (although she was small, about Captain Barrett on her waist, all grey blue with large triangular teeth). Then lead the rebellion.
However, the second part is not that easy. Shark Girl first broaches the subject with the crew in a panel—parts of the book read just like comics, with the art broken into panels, while others use the full page or the full two-page spread as a particular beat (or implied panel)—where she holds a hand to the side of her face and looks around casually, a dialog balloon featuring a strictly drawn image of the captain with X’s over his eyes, and the world “mutiny” below it. The three-person crew had big and round eyes, with a slightly weird expression.
During the montage, the Shark Girl manages to be friends with the crew, although every aspect of her shark nature marks her completely different from them, and she proves herself to be an amazing fisherman who can pull fish with a small fishing rod after fishing with a small fishing rod, which is due to her apparent inability to tell those little fishes about their abilities.
Barret saw that her skills were very valuable and was afraid to let her leave the ship, so one day he grabbed her and put her on a radiator, then rescued her new friend from her crew and rescued her, she returned to the sea, and they finally started to burst out at the beginning: At the beginning:
The crew has commanded jellyfish and resume orders.
They still fish, but they can never come and only catch what humans will eat.
They remember that other fish are creatures too.
While larger and brighter than the Beaton Art you may be most familiar with, this is obviously Beaton’s in the book. According to the exquisite print on the cover, it looks painty, and while there are several rather dynamic images (especially the full page illustration of Shark Girl, no fishing nets, and seemingly dives in the direction of the reader), many of the stage looks on the stage look, well, comics.
Of course, all characters look like Beaton’s characters. For example, you can certainly recognize her shark girl on the cover, and the human character on the boat looks more repressive, especially the captain. They all have an interesting, exaggerated expression that people might expect from characters in comics or animated cartoons, although there will certainly be news in the book – about taking care of the environment, greed is bad, and it is really interesting about accepting other people who are different.
For example, this mutiny occurs in the process of three panels, in which the character does things like taking the captain’s portrait from the wall, pouring coffee out of his cup, and reading “Boss 1” on his cup, and he reacts dramatically.
The page showing the online shark girl had about 50-75 or so of “little fish that humans like to eat”, each with wide-eyed expressions, recording different levels of emotion, from confusion to disappointment to forgetting that clumsy stupidity, sometimes the animals Beaton drew for animals (e.g., like her fat little ponies (e.g.).
In addition to giving fans another chance to enjoy art, Beaton’s Shark girl It is also the best children’s picture books, and children and adults can enjoy the same.
If you have read a villain in your life, I will definitely recommend this book for them. And if you are just someone who loves fun art and great comics, I suggest you borrow a copy for check-out at the local library.
