For Eisner, i read The Spirit and the Contract with God. With the Spirit, i noticed right away there was some type of slang/ accent, and if it was an accent i couldn't figure out what kind. The spirit is about a drim fighter who gets blessing from the police commissioner, sort of reminds me of Batman, which involves drama, mystery, horror, comedy, and love stories. And with the Contract with God, i loved the drawings, they were awesome pen and ink, which they almost looked like etchings. I thought it was a little cracked out when the guy was drunk on whiskey and his kid was crying and he threw it across the room. It's just crazy to think about someone actually doing such a thing.
And, when i read Thompson's work, which i did not read Blankets but i did Doot Doot Garden, i fell in love with this comic. I love weird, corky, disgusting things that are comical. When i first opened the file and i saw the characters it reminded me of Salad Fingers, which i loveeee Salad fingers, so i was already in this comic. As i started reading i thought the text was awesome, it was out of the ordinary. For example, a character said "I found a good buoyant log an i'm floating myself down a river of diarrhea." hahaha, i love it. The text bubbles were pretty cool as well, instead of being the simple shaped rectangles or squares that are perfect, but they are more like curved fun and different shapes that kind of goes with the characters inside them. Also he is not afraid to cut off a characters head which you normally do not see.
