Satire Smackdown: Comics That Crush

Writing the Satire

Comics are satire’s panels – crush them silly. Target a strip: “Hero saves day – yawn fest.” Hit the tropes – capes, quips: “Villain so bad, he bored me.” Keep it tight – loose flops. Write: “Comic says epic – it’s meh.” Doonesbury’s jabs inspire. Start yours: “Dog strip – he sleeps.” Practice turns ink into zingers.

Teaching the Technique

Teach comic jabs with a panel twist. Give “hero flies” – twist: “Flew so fast, I slept!” Show Doonesbury gags – trope, sting. Steps: strip, quirk, jab. Assign “bad guy” – spark: “Bad so lame, I cheered!” Discuss snap: tight wins. Warn off long – short rules. Comic-off: pitch a crush, best zing wins. Comics are lines – teach them to line it.
