TRANSLATOR

Hello everyone! This week Celia and Molly are the translators. 

This week we had to make a comic based on the design of some famous comic. We chose 13 rue del Percebe

COMIC: Making a comic book is a fun and creative activity that children usually like, as it's an entertaining and stimulating task that helps them develop their imagination and sense of humour. 

Some of the advantages of making a comic book is that it is accessible to children, facilitates comprehensive reading and develops skills such as comprehension, interpretation, synthesis.

13 RUE DEL PERCEBE: is a comic book created by Francisco Ibañez in 1961.
It is about a building with several characters like Don Senen who has a grocery store, the doorman, Don Huron, who libes in a sewer, a mad scientist, a veterinarian...
The character of mad scientist was censured because during Franco's time, as this scientist created horrifying beings, he had to eliminate him under the reason of "only God can create life".
The comics were always done on the same template of a building, with the same characters whose conversations are a series of jokes.
This comic series was so famous that series like "Aquí no hay quien viva" or "La que se avecina" were inspired by it.

ZOOM: Everyone is still in quarantine, so we've had to find a way to communicate while we make our comic. We spoke a bit over WhatsApp but ultimately decided that it would be best to talk over Zoom. We spoke and worked together for a couple hours.

COMEDY: For the 13 rue del percebe, it is important that there is an element of comedy and cleverness in each cell. During our call, we made sure that everyone's cell had a joke in it. 

CREATIVITY: For this activity, everyone worked together and made a cell to all come together in the main comic. It was important that we all had a different idea to make it unique. Carlos created the concept and we all made ours based on that. Everyone drew their own part and it is clear that there are 9 different styles in our comic.
