Speaker 1: with them, le tell 'em about it. The allry like, Okay,
Speaker 1: so on to the topic of choice. Now, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get my thoughts about the aspects of the first comic
Speaker 1: book that is well established that you know, it's interesting
Speaker 1: with this one. I'm not gonna go into two depth
Speaker 1: in its intro about it. You know, that's what the
Speaker 1: show is for, of about the variations of how comic
Speaker 1: books are.
Speaker 2: Considered.
Speaker 1: It'str actually with this particularly the first you know, comic book.
Speaker 1: And then on Wednesday, I'm gonna give more commentary on
Speaker 1: my thoughts on comic books.
Speaker 2: And I touched on this.
Speaker 1: Some time back, and I'm just gonna reiterate it because
Speaker 1: I think comic books is in itself very fascinating and
Speaker 1: it's placed in American culture. And then abron with that said,
Speaker 1: let's jump right into the pages of it. Okay, so
Speaker 1: let's jump right into the aspects of it.
Speaker 2: Nah.
Speaker 1: I Initially when I was talking about French literature a
Speaker 1: right th this came into my path about the aspects
Speaker 1: of of UH.
Speaker 2: This particular where though.
Speaker 1: It's really considered internationally one of the first comic books.
Speaker 1: And then we r reiterate the focus into American comic books,
Speaker 1: cause UH, American comic books and UH America in general
Speaker 1: really crafted comic books and made it well into its
Speaker 1: outside of manga.
Speaker 2: With that, alright, so let's jump right to it.
Speaker 1: So, mister Obadiah oh old book is uh the adventures
Speaker 1: uh of mister I Obadiah. Old Book is loosely based
Speaker 1: upon uh the uh history d masher forget forgive me
Speaker 1: with the notifications going on in the background, mister, I'll
Speaker 1: forgive me for the French here. Uh, I'll do my
Speaker 1: very best with pronunciation of this.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: V are bulls of Bulls in eighteen thirty seven by
Speaker 1: Randolph Telfer. Now this went through a lot of different
Speaker 1: variations of altering and everything else with it, and it's
Speaker 1: considered the consistency is that it's the first comic book
Speaker 1: in the way in which the alliteration though, the drawings
Speaker 1: are and the panels and then it has, you know,
Speaker 1: something something you would say to the con the consistencies
Speaker 1: and the consensus of thought bubbles, you know, which you
Speaker 1: would typically see in the comic book when when they're
Speaker 1: conversing with each other.
Speaker 2: But what what.
Speaker 1: Is very interesting is the subject matter and which uh
Speaker 1: they Obadiah Uh Obadiah Oh book is our following it
Speaker 1: goes along the aspects of UH. First, it's centers around
Speaker 1: a a g a man who is r uh very
Speaker 1: much going through in a turmo to the point it
Speaker 1: goes into very uh graphic an and well, you know,
Speaker 1: to each his own with that, but it goes into
Speaker 1: very sensitive and that I can be a whole thing
Speaker 1: with uh depending on with uh the aspects of how
Speaker 1: that is seen and presented. But the subject matter is
Speaker 1: not is is not cute. It's it's it is graphic
Speaker 1: and graphic in the sense of it. It goes into
Speaker 1: the depths of the aspects of you know, which I
Speaker 1: don't understand why you can't have conversations on YouTube, adult
Speaker 1: conversations when that's so you don't when it's uh, my
Speaker 1: my my market, my channel is for adults. When you know,
Speaker 1: I happen to have some you know, I have frien
Speaker 1: family friendly content for the most part, most part this
Speaker 1: is centered around adults. But anyway, you know, with the
Speaker 1: aspects of anyone's life. Unfortunately by yourself, your y if y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all get the point of what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So and it's.
Speaker 1: And the way in which that is centering around is
Speaker 1: uh from what I understand.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Now, at this time period we're going to through through
Speaker 1: the transitions of the aspects of naturalism with a literary
Speaker 1: concept of that and romanticism, uh, with the literary concepts
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 2: Now, why am I bringing up these subject matters here? Now?
Speaker 1: These two subject matters center around the house of French
Speaker 1: literature specifically, you know, when we get to naturalism, but
Speaker 1: you know a little bit with romanticism and the aspects
Speaker 1: of UH of that and everything else. Of saying once
Speaker 1: not that this is what I'm I'm I'm I'm picking
Speaker 1: up from that in interpretation of this comic book.
Speaker 2: It's okay, uh, okay, let me get back to this.
Speaker 2: It's a.
Speaker 1: Another interpretation and the myths in which this mentality of
Speaker 1: no matter what you do, no matter how the prizes
Speaker 1: that accolates you have you, something is still against you.
Speaker 2: Right, And I think that this.
Speaker 1: Particular a UH in the means in which is represented
Speaker 1: is UH an ensemble to that piece of you know
Speaker 1: what was reitererated again with uh literary philosophies of naturalism
Speaker 1: and UH the French sort of uh aspects of this
Speaker 1: UH bleak disdain sort of mentality of the ways in
Speaker 1: which they saw the moralities and n and the.
Speaker 2: Movements of modern life, you know. And so.
Speaker 1: It's really interesting when you turn and you look and
Speaker 1: you think about the concepts of comic books and it's
Speaker 1: disposition alright, So the concept of interpersonal relationships and when
Speaker 1: this is the archetype and the UH as I was
Speaker 1: saying about the I'm gonna go back the Obadiah obuk, right,
Speaker 1: it's a also goes.
Speaker 2: In the aspects of what would you do in order
Speaker 2: to know.
Speaker 1: Reierate your situations of what you're dealing with, cause it
Speaker 1: are not on top of love and love loves to
Speaker 1: go in the aspects of you know, often oneself goes
Speaker 1: in into the UH list of talking about robbery, imprisonment,
Speaker 1: a missing person, and and then the aspects of monks,
Speaker 1: you know, the aspects of pastoral libbing and all of
Speaker 1: these things. Now, these concepts also in itself, UH the
Speaker 1: foundations in which to a variation a lot of different
Speaker 1: coming but s CENTERI itself around the aspects talking about robbery, right,
Speaker 1: robbery and crime and ced ands. You know, we got
Speaker 1: the Dick Tracy's of UH comic books. You got all Man,
Speaker 1: you could say, Batman in itself. You know that a
Speaker 1: lot of that uh pyramids in Bo Batman with the
Speaker 1: de depending on you how you look at it, has
Speaker 1: to do with crime and thiefery and all these kind
Speaker 1: of things. And the aspects are spiritual.
Speaker 2: With the the month.
Speaker 1: That uh month and uh being disillusion with uh speciality
Speaker 1: and you know, having that interlaced in this.
Speaker 2: Those concepts are.
Speaker 1: Very prevalent in a lot of American modern comic books.
Speaker 1: And then specifically when we get into manga and the
Speaker 1: aspects of Western f I mean Eastern philosophy, right in
Speaker 1: some Western but s specifically mainly Eastern philosophy, okay, and
Speaker 1: then pastoral living alright, So presoral living, you know, that's
Speaker 1: reminant a lot about the aspects of.
Speaker 2: Being one with the concept of nature, like uh what
Speaker 2: d what what are we? How?
Speaker 1: Uh what are we looking at in front of us?
Speaker 1: And how we living? What is our disposition in nature?
Speaker 1: Because most of the time, you know, when uh, these
Speaker 1: things are presented, when it we we see it from
Speaker 1: a artistic point of view.
Speaker 2: You know, where it be literature, where it be.
Speaker 1: A different form of the arts, or where it be
Speaker 1: uh with and paintings or drawings or in movies, depending
Speaker 1: on the what what the person who is creating is
Speaker 1: where they wanna uh take this artistically. Most of the
Speaker 1: time the concept is centered around the aspects of.
Speaker 2: What kind of feelings.
Speaker 1: Do I have about nature? And what does that mean
Speaker 1: to me, whether it be good or bad? M where
Speaker 1: there be romanticized in the aspects of longing and belonging
Speaker 1: nostalgia because u uh a lot of time lu most
Speaker 1: of that w uh with romanticism. Now I'm really merely
Speaker 1: seeing it from my point of view in the aspects
Speaker 1: of the literary style and the concepts of it that
Speaker 1: had to do with the belonging of something, of where
Speaker 1: where it should be, and that y that's where you're
Speaker 1: getting into the territory of uh nossagia here.
Speaker 2: However, the first.
Speaker 1: Comic book, as the consensus is in America, it's not Trace,
Speaker 1: the one single author author, so it is uh actually
Speaker 1: entitled The Fortunes of Fernand Flipper, and it's an episodic
Speaker 1: tell of birth, employments, romance, fortune and death, as they
Speaker 1: say in UH Death of a Salesman well particularly, and
Speaker 1: this is an asinuation of that you know that that
Speaker 1: old adage of you know you can depend on things
Speaker 1: in life, and those those are one of 'em. Uh
Speaker 1: with the aspects of you know, birth, education, employment, romance
Speaker 1: and fortune and then and then in death and also
Speaker 1: the aspects of it being rambling. You know, it's very
Speaker 1: interesting because you know when you ramble, well pretty much
Speaker 1: it's somebody that's just very incoherent in the way in
Speaker 1: which they're uh expressing something, and that to me innates
Speaker 1: the aspects of uh what uh soliloquies, right, And then
Speaker 1: you know, Shakespeare in itself, uh he he his work
Speaker 1: was a want to uh pinpoint these things out the
Speaker 1: you know people you know, having these thoughts and and
Speaker 1: speaking out loud, right, And then that's very interesting, uh
Speaker 1: for the po uh experience that it's rambling, uh, for
Speaker 1: the point of the aspects of having uh soliloquy to
Speaker 1: to me, that's how I interpreted that, you know, like
Speaker 1: if if that's my point of view of it, and
Speaker 1: that's setting up the the the process of reiterating, you know,
Speaker 1: like a taking what was already said with the aspect
Speaker 1: oh done with the Obadiah Old book and just you know,
Speaker 1: giving uh a different spin on it, you know, which
Speaker 1: is a lot a lot of things that are really
Speaker 1: popular do that. Even the Bible, you know, uh, there
Speaker 1: there is uh notations of uh things being reiterated and
Speaker 1: just regurgits, hired it, and it's being discounted because it's
Speaker 1: something that happened after the fact and not being a
Speaker 1: part of the Bible, because it's not actually proven that this,
Speaker 1: you know, when you look back at it, that it
Speaker 1: was actually in the time of Jesus and and then
Speaker 1: at the time of the Old Testament and something way
Speaker 1: by way after you know, so so forth, and that
Speaker 1: could be a ye. And it's just interesting how you know,
Speaker 1: something that is so profound and so upl lifting or
Speaker 1: or something that is so meaningful that has has been
Speaker 1: accounted for, and then you know, people having an admar
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that's what was going on
Speaker 1: with the aspects of the uh fortunist uh of Frina Clipper,
Speaker 1: that you know, get e seeing something that's already been
Speaker 1: done and and reinterpreting that like this. This is this
Speaker 1: concept of reinterpreting something that has a profound effect on culture.
Speaker 1: It it's you know, really nothing new. But getting back
Speaker 1: to the point here, I just think it was simply rambling,
Speaker 1: you know, for the sake of you know, setting it
Speaker 1: up for a means to have thought bubbles or you know,
Speaker 1: something like a soliloquy like this is uh expected for
Speaker 1: people to kind of understand or are you n It's
Speaker 1: one of those things to understand the audience too, in uh,
Speaker 1: the context and time, in the circumstance. Maybe the person
Speaker 1: who uh was originally wrote wrote this or made this.
Speaker 1: That's what they were an intending. Uh, that was something
Speaker 1: that was already applied, you know, depending on the historical
Speaker 1: context in the eye that you know, to look at
Speaker 1: it like that, this was laying down the front the
Speaker 1: foundation of having a soliloquies there they're the this is
Speaker 1: just long, long soliloquy and that's why it's rambling like that,
Speaker 1: and then leading down the road of you know, comic
Speaker 1: books really taking shape and taking form into its own
Speaker 1: and then having a c consensus Okay, well let's take
Speaker 1: it to another level, you know, and having the placement
Speaker 1: in which doop bubbles are very you know, prevalent and
Speaker 1: precise and concise in these comics. And it's also interesting
Speaker 1: too how things develop and become its own when I
Speaker 1: when uh people think after the fact or uh they
Speaker 1: say well, what's the next thing that we can do
Speaker 1: to uh carry this medium on? Because you know, we
Speaker 1: see that it's gaining a lot of traction, So what's next?
Speaker 1: And I that's to me is what is very interesting
Speaker 1: about the aspects of comic books. It's it's it's for
Speaker 1: the most part, it's it's been center around the aspects
Speaker 1: of what's next or what can we do? How can
Speaker 1: we reienterate a subject matter and take it to the
Speaker 1: next level. Dead Pool is a really good example of this. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's countless others and I'll get into that on Wednesday
Speaker 1: more specifically, but to uh raining and wrap up here
Speaker 1: and you know, get to the focal point here that
Speaker 1: Pool in itself. You know, you have this character that
Speaker 1: really breaks down w the expectations of what.
Speaker 2: Are a superhero.
Speaker 1: You know, for the most part, it's supposed to be
Speaker 1: because you know, it was established a superhero does this?
Speaker 2: A superhero looks like this? And there you go.
Speaker 1: Now that you know, before deal Pool came out, there
Speaker 1: was you know, alterations, uh tweaking and you know, you
Speaker 1: get like the anti hero, you get you know, uh,
Speaker 1: the the concept of.
Speaker 2: Justice and protection and.
Speaker 1: It's gray and and everything else, so you know when
Speaker 1: you think about Batman in the subject matter and other
Speaker 1: other other concepts.
Speaker 2: But uh, when the.
Speaker 1: Coming but what that pulling itself came out, it was
Speaker 1: very interesting because that coming move was not only wittedly
Speaker 1: m making fun of uh pop culture, it would e
Speaker 1: that if that pulling itself would break down the concept
Speaker 1: of the four fourth wall, the fourth wall you know,
Speaker 1: for itself, it's uh something that that was very disturbing
Speaker 1: to break down. You know when it was fir well,
Speaker 1: initially when it was first done, I I W I
Speaker 1: would say it was probably Nah, I'm just merely going
Speaker 1: on from what I understand, and y'all I uh movie
Speaker 1: buffs or uh fe uh the uh TV buffs what
Speaker 1: have you? You y'all can correct me and fill me
Speaker 1: in on it by emailing me or getting making comments,
Speaker 1: you know, with this episode. So there was one Hitchcock
Speaker 1: film where this was done to.
Speaker 2: Be very menacing.
Speaker 1: Okay, and for those who know and for those who
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah, I I'm tryna think about what it was.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm just gonna set up set up the
Speaker 1: the uh what the scene is? So initially it's a
Speaker 1: scene where people are watching tennis, right, and you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's moving their head back and forth, back and forth
Speaker 1: cause they're watching a tennis match.
Speaker 2: Okay, but.
Speaker 1: There's one person in the crowd that's just looking straight
Speaker 1: on at someone to antagonize them to know that there's
Speaker 1: something amiss and there's something going to happen. That was,
Speaker 1: from what I understand, was the first you know, interplay
Speaker 1: of the aspects of breaking that down. And then you know,
Speaker 1: the fourth wall became a thing where it was it's
Speaker 1: comic relief, you know, w you know when you s
Speaker 1: uh saw it and UH Ferris Builder's Day Off, it
Speaker 1: was reenterating again in other films and then uh in television,
Speaker 1: Uh Will Smith and UH A Fresh Prince of Bellat
Speaker 1: he did it a lot, and.
Speaker 2: In the UH show.
Speaker 1: Now doing that in a comic book, that's all the thing,
Speaker 1: because in a comic book, you know, you don't you
Speaker 1: don't have something moving in order to you know, break
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. It's just there in the
Speaker 1: pages and you're like, oh wow, okay, and it it
Speaker 1: j it it's it can be drawing, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're not really but if that's not really something that's
Speaker 1: interesting to you, but it was just another aspect of
Speaker 1: how that's very interesting and that's that's uh very could
Speaker 1: be very reassuring with the aspects of what comic books
Speaker 1: can do because it's another platform that it's entertains the
Speaker 1: aspects of thinking about what what can you do next?
Speaker 1: With telling the story? Now, what can you do next?
Speaker 1: With the aspects of art and and the disposition of
Speaker 1: the UH popular culture of how people see themselves for
Speaker 1: popular culture, or how people see themselves in any aspects
Speaker 1: of modernity, UH, how people see themselves in the aspects
Speaker 1: of nostalgia with nostalgia, how people feel about nostalgia, all
Speaker 1: the aspects of how people think about UH violence, UH
Speaker 1: justice and UH the concept of M sci UH science
Speaker 1: and technology, the concept of UH superheroes and their placement
Speaker 1: and comic books. When you know uh are you don't
Speaker 1: we a you don't you take it into another level
Speaker 1: with the aspects of something like au t uh tales
Speaker 1: from a crypt and UH that concept the aspects of
Speaker 1: the subject matter when it has to do with what
Speaker 1: you do uh and uh reality of your situation is
Speaker 1: a very spiritual thing. This can also be a very
Speaker 1: UH Christian nonn connotation, but the aspects of this can
Speaker 1: be like a interpretation of UH.
Speaker 2: A lot of different religions of.
Speaker 1: Y. You get your come up and s whether you
Speaker 1: realize that or not, when you do misdeeds it it
Speaker 1: eventually comes back to you of. But it's laid in
Speaker 1: the concept of UH, of of horror and and UH
Speaker 1: you know, monsters and ghoules, you know, reiterating that and
Speaker 1: that's that's very interesting. So that my first thoughts about
Speaker 1: the aspects of UH, the UH comic books and the
Speaker 1: aspects of for UH the the first comic books, you know,
Speaker 1: and then actually and then American This the American comic
Speaker 1: book that is UH considered to be the first comic book.
Speaker 1: So I would like to know what you all think.
Speaker 1: Feel free to reach out to me and you know,
Speaker 1: continuing the conversation you UH email is great and also
Speaker 1: comments on YouTube's greatly appreciated. So this reaches the end
Speaker 1: of the heart being like tune in, turn up, and
Speaker 1: absolutely take care by bye for now.
