Opowieść robak toczy

Journal Title: Schulz/Forum - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 8

Abstract

Jakub Woynarowski limits the plot of his comic book based on Schulz’s fiction to a minimum: the composition consists of full-page planes while balloons have been replaced by micro-narration. Placing the quotes from Schulz beneath or above the pictures and reducing colors to black, white, and glaring orange suggest a return to the beginnings of the comic book, when it was just a story in pictures, subservient to a literary text. However, Woynarowski adjusts Schulz to his own strategy, offering the reader a self-exposing approach to the problems of neo-conceptualism, rather than an original interpretation of Schulz’s works.
